The Riddle of the Sands Adventure Club Podcast 5: Mainly About Sailing (and Tobacco)
In which we discuss our plans to re-enact the classic spy novel 'The Riddle of the Sands'. This week, Lloyd (aka NotDavies) has disappeared onto the Continent, so Tim (aka NotCarruthers) is sailing solo.
Luckily, we recorded a couple of discussions before Lloyd left, interviewed an experienced ocean sailer at a club in London, and also received some gripping material from Adventure Club members.
More details & membership signup here: http://riddleofthesands.net
We discuss: the size of Carruthers’s luggage (00:34); the search for a Flensburg carpenter (03:50); Kass Schmitt tells us about the perils of a first visit to a ships chandlers and where it might take you (06:08); how to join the Riddle of the Sands Adventure Club (17:50); another visit to a pipe shop and BIG news about the supposedly mythical Raven Mixture (19:15); Club Member Anthony’s real-life reenactment of Davies’s voyage from Dover to the Baltic (24:32); details of Childers’s original 1898 sailing log supplied by Adventure Club member Jerry (29:54); more about the influence of ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ on other great spy writers and the ‘spatchcocking’ of Clara Dollman - according to Adventure Club member Jeff (32:08). Ahoy all - keep the material coming in!
Breaking news: We’re having a film club evening at Arthur Beale - a showing of the 1970s movie with Michael York and Simon McCorkindale. Grog will be served! http://www.arthurbeale.co.uk/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=17143
