Powerboating Course

At the end of March 8 leaders from our own group ventured 300 miles to Sheffield to take part in a RYA level 2 powerboat course. Not only did they complete the course but they survived the trip in Donald the bus!

The course was held at Damflask Reservoir near Sheffield, this is the local centre for Sheffield Scout Sailing Club. A range of console and tiller control power boats were available to let everyone develop their skills, some with varying degrees of success!. We won't mention the person that parked the boat on top of the "man overboard" nor the person who pushed off from the jetty with no keys!  Thanks to Dave and Wendy Berry for instruction, catering and accommodation, a successful weekend for all.
