Alba Endeavour Challenge with OYT Scotland

Twelve junior members from the Club sailed on the Alba Endeavour from Kerrera to Tobermory, Loch Boisdale, Gairloch, Portree, Mallaig (via Canna) and back to Oban again last week. This was a week long trip on a former round the world racing yacht. During the week there were several sightings of Basking Sharks, and at least one Minke Whale was spotted. For many the highlights were sailing to Canna and back in a force six, and rounding Ardnamurchan point, close hauled, in a force eight!

(Fin, Robbie, Lucy, Izzy, Annie, Heather, Freya, Scott, Catriona,  Niall, Beth, and Daniel pictured on deck in sunny Portree. They were accompanied by Joanna and Dave from the club and supervised by Staff of the OYTS Nick, Craig, Derek, and Dougie -- the skipper.)

All juniors acheived an RYA "Competant Crew" qualification and a good time was had by all.
