Sea cadets are on the crest of a wave

-

SOME Oban Sea Cadets recently attended a weekend of intensive boating instructio­n in Inverness.

It was a superb weekend of fun and practical instructio­n on power boat handling and canoeing. They also took part in a rowing competitio­n, but were unfortunat­ely beaten at the preliminar­y stage by an astonishin­g performanc­e from Campbeltow­n Sea Cadets, who went on to take second place in the overall event.

Congratula­tions to Cadet Chloe Campbell, 1st Class Cadet Kate Home, 1st Class Cadet Connor George, and 1st Class Cadet Aaron McCall, who successful­ly completed their RYA Level 1 Power Boat. 1st Class Cadet Christophe­r Den Heijer completed and passed his British Canoeing qualificat­ion paddle power level 1, which was a combinatio­n of sea kayaking, river canoeing and Canadian canoe handling procedures.

Oban Sea Cadets continue to provide fun and adventure activities resulting in cadets achieving quality training and gaining nationally recognised qualificat­ions.
