Something useful to do on a winter weekend

Winter may be upon us but some of us are looking ahead to the 2013 season and braving the elements to improve their powerboat skills. Euan Macdonald, Keith Fergie and Eric Taylor completed an RYA Safety Boat course run for us By Newburgh SC's John Cameron and were awarded certificates to prove it.
The course included practice recovering an upturned dinghy and a swamped kayak as well as general boat handling techniques in a rescue environment.



 Here the boys wrestle with a kayak, and a load of H2O just to make it interesting. Conditions were cold and frosty on Saturday and damp on Sunday but spirits were kept up with hot tea and mince pies.
