2021/02 Safety Day, Loch Sport

With so many new members, and water safety instruction day was required. We headed down to Loch Sport - it was windy and the water salty -we're used to fresh water! Pushed the boat out, and then upturned the boat, running through procedures to check that all were above water, checking if anyone was caught under the boat and what to do if you are caught under the boat. Finally baling the boat!

Thankfully the water was only waist deep! Then swimming to shore in clothes and PDFs.

A lot fun! and very worthwhile!
