Our annual regatta is returning this year. It will be in a slightly different format and will be a “Regatta Lite”. Although there are a series of races the emphasis is on having fun and rejoicing at being back on the water with our skiffie friends. Instead of rowing round the Craig races will start …

With a heavy heart we have decided to cancel our regatta, due to be held on Saturday 29th August.

Tuesday last week I welcomed 8 Eyemouth rowers to have a wee row in our skiff John and try out our oars. I first met Alison when escorting the Eyemouth gala queen from St. Abbs and enjoying their hospitality in a party afterwards. We borrowed their boat Seabreeze for a month or so in …
