We have some talented sailors at RBYC with other amazing talents also. George Henderson is currently in Scotland performing in The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Preparation has included several practice sessions, one of which went for 14 Hours! The first show was on Friday 4 August.
|
|
Prior to this, George was playing with the Scots School Albury pipe band, which he plays with as an alumnus. On 29 July, the band won the Scottish Championships in their grade. They are also competing in the World Championships on 19th August in amongst a very busy schedule for the Tattoo with 26 performances throughout the month of August. He will also be playing at the RBYC Opening Day on 7th October.

Greetings from Heathrow Airport, London. I will be flying to Toronto in a few hours after having a fantastic 2.5 week holiday here in England. Sadly however, my hopes to swim the English Channel did not eventuate. After waiting for a full week for the winds to ease, they didn't drop so we never got the chance to set off from Dover. I made up for this disappointment by walking many of the fabulous coastal trails in Kent and a number of other scenic trails in the Midlands.
