Hazel and Julie represented BCRC at the (very wet) SCRA AGM and training weekend at Loch Tummel. Both have done a taster session for Umpiring and refreshed themselves re rowing technique knowledge. (and yes, those are medals round their necks, they won some races!)
Thank you Scottish Coastal Rowing Association for an excellent weekend of information, camaraderie and learning 🚣🏻

What time is it? ….. BOAT MAINANCE TIME!

•Boat emptied & washed (so much grit; very damaging to paintwork)
•Keel band removed (that boat keel is going to take some time to dry out)
•Hull assessed
•Removables washed and ready for sanding

Lots of laughs, many hands make light work!

(How many clubs have to wait on the harbour for a bus to pass before they move their skiff?!)

Last evening row of the year 😔 but what a beautiful sunset we got! It was a bit spicey to go beyond the harbour, but we had a lot of fun 😍

After the understandable cancellation of Collieston’s regatta due to strong winds, we decided to find somewhere with more favourable conditions & have a mini rowing adventure instead 🚣🏽

After launching at Loch Insch we rowed 17km up & down the River Spey - this stretch of water was a first for us.

The usual fun through chaos ensued, amidst the dreich conditions.

What happens in the boat, stays in the boat (😜), but safe to say, much fun was had, despite the weather 🤩

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!)

Burghead and Collieston (Burgston or Colliehead??) joined together & had a fun day at North Berwick’s Regatta. Fabulously organised as always & with sunshine!

A great day was had at Findhorn regatta by our wee posse of teal! Sprints and 1km races were the order of the day helped (and hindered!) by the wind (Made for some interesting turns 💨)
1 crew got a wee gold medal so smiles all round 🥇
Thanks Findhorn Coastal Rowing Club for such a well run, fun day 🫶🏻
