Burghead were delighted to have 4 teams enter the 5 Miles From Home Challenge. ‘Teal be Back’, ‘Teal Odyssey’, ‘Pictish Storm’ & ‘Clann an Uisge’
Due to a narrow weather window, 3 of the crews went out one evening earlier in the week. The final crew launching at approx 1945, returning to harbour just after 2100 when it was pretty well dark. (This was anticipated and the sea conditions were perfect, they even rigged a light to comply with Collregs)
Absolutely fantastic effort getting those 5 miles in from them all!
Unfortunately our mixed junior crew were not so lucky and didn’t find a weather window that matched their availability - such a shame for them as they are a keen crew
Hars off to the organisers of this event 👏🏻👏🏻 (which gets bigger every year!)
