Life's full of strange coincidences. I used to live in Redhill and sailed at Mercers Park - Ent then Osprey 940, then a Scorpion. Even sailed FD GBR300 there once or twice - that sharpened up the boat handling! The rech across the pond took about 15 seconds with the kite up! I thought the sailing club there had died?

Water level pretty low! Don't remember the island having that much beach! Is the winch still working, or do you have to haul boats up by hand these days. Happy memories of sailing three races in F5-6, then having to drag boats up the steepest ramp in the cosmos. Didn't help that there was a Scorp (owned by a guy called Mike, I think) that always ended up full of water, and he couldn't be bothered to drain it. Lovely spot in the summer, though.

Heavens above ..... global warming and the rise in sea levels cetrtainly has hit the southcoast.  That was all deciduous forest earlier in the year.  No wonder you have such great sailing at Lancing
