Christmas Eve Row
In between hoolies we managed to get two crews on the water for a bit of winter training
Foxlake Sprints
Well done to all who made the effort, North Berwick, Musselburgh and Port Seton, put on our brave faces helping each other out with lifting boats and filling in spaces in others teams too. We had a laugh, tried to keep cosy and at least, got to row. This was pretty challenging for coxes as …
Finlay and Elisa Wedding
Two NBRC members were married at the weekend. We believe this is the first wedding for two people who were brought together through St Ayles skiffs. Both Finlay and Elisa raced for North Berwick at the St. Ayles Skiff World Championships at Ullapool in July 2013, where they found they had more in common than …
Tweed Row Sept 2015
The day started with clear blue skies and ended exactly the same way. This writer’s first trip down the silvery Tweed and the conditions were as perfect as they could be which was reassuring after some of the ‘horror stories’ that had been passed around from previous outings! Our intrepid ‘double crew’ all met up …
Cockenzie Chimneys
On a very calm and surreal morning we headed to watch Cockenzie Power Station twin chimneys be blown to the ground. The weather was so still, with a but of warmth to. Sea was almost glass like. Our two boats mustered with all three Boatie boats, plus Anster and Dunbar. The Port Seton harbour was …
Dolphin Spotting Sept 2015
When most of North Berwick were still tucked up in their beds, ten mad souls dragged themselves to the harbour for the first, of hopefully many, captains’ coffee and cake social rows. The bells were just chiming 8 when we launched into a fantastic morning sea. Going out the West Passage at just after full …
Tiger Cup 2015
After calling off the Tiger Cup earlier in the year due to storms, we grabbed the good weather window yesterday to have a quickly arranged internal, friendly knockout race competition that I’m sure would make the founder proud. Twenty red shirts gathered on the beach for what turned into a lovely day, the aea state …
North Berwick Regatta August 2015
We do like it rough at NB ! The sun shone and the wind certainly blew. White horses and big side waves to the Craig, a nice bit of clapotis then settle in for a breather in the good water round the back…and steel your selves for the wall of wind and final sprint for …
Royal West Regatta August 2015
The west coast is notoriously rainy throughout the year. At NBRC we prepare ourselves for whatever the elements throw at us. However, 20 of our members were pleasantly surprised when arriving at Greenock on the 9th August for the Royal West regatta, to be bathed in warm sunshine with only a slight hint of a …
Musselburgh Regatta August 2015
Saturday 1st August saw a small group of NBRC members head along the coast to Musselburgh to take part in Eskmuthe Rowing Club’s second skiff regatta. Other clubs present were Port Seton, Row Porty and some representatives of Amble Rowing Club who were using one of Eskmuthe’s boats. The racing kicked off in the early …
