Winter Lecture by Jean Carteron
On Wednesday 29th November we're delighted to be welcoming Jean Carteron, to talk about 'Islands of Saint-Mercouf'.
Jean Carteron has a long connection with the sea and sails from the Baie de Seine; he has been a Member of the RLymYC for over 25 years. He is closely involved with the heritage and preservation of the Iles Saint-Marcouf, located off the eastern coast of the Cotentin Peninsular (red arrow on the map). Jean's lecture will cover the isles and their fortifications - of both British and French origins - which have a fascinating history and heritage. Of current interest is their important ecology, which the Friends of Saint-Marcouf would like to see shared with visitors. The islands are a key focus for navigation, which Jean will also address, and he will bring us up to date with their interest to visiting yachtsmen, particularly those planning to visit the waters off St. Vaast and Carentan‘
The lecture will start at 18:30 prompt, so we recommend you arrive in good time to get a drink from the bar to take to your seat in the Island Room. If you are booked for supper, it will be served in the River Room after the lecture, please sit where you wish.
