I’ve had a busy weekend showing off Chris o’Kanaird. On Saturday we were at the Pittenweem Gala day, and from discussions there, it would appear that Pittenweem and St Monans have been talking seriously about joining the fun. There was second hand news that Boarhills (near St Andrews) has been talking about it, and everyone who I talked to from Crail said that they were going to get things moving there! On top of the news last week that there is serious interest from Methil and Burntisland, it appears that the Kingdom of Fife is at last getting its skiffs on.
Sunday saw Chris making her way over the bridge again to South Queensferry, where she assisted the RNLI gala day by chucking the chairman of the Queensferry group in the sea for him to be rescued by the inshore rescue boat. Quite a few members of the Queensferry group had a try, and Mike McDowall showed off his model of the skiff that he has been using to publicise the build there.
I’ll hopefully receive a few pictures of the boat later, but in the meantime, here’s Mike and his model.
