With Yolande up at the Loch for the winter, sea rows have been few and far between. But our Shetland Yoal, Reevik has been on a few outings in the Forth in between maintenance sessions. The most recent was a night time row on the solstice, December 21st.
It was a remarkably clear and still evening. Lit by a 360º lantern of bike lights mounted on a pole and donning head torches, the crew ventured out past Pettycur and circumnavigated the Black Rocks. With carol singing, jelly babies, and the lights of the Burgh spurring them on, they returned from the club’s first night time exercise. As an added bonus, Wee Eck performed its tractorly duty to perfection, towing Reevik back to the shed in one smooth balletic manoeuvre.
A great success for the log book and a fine precedent for future winter rows.
