LAST FEW PLACES

After the huge success of the 2009 Offshore Sailing experience, I've decided to go bigger and better and run a 9 night sailing experience. This expedition is also open to one CRB cleared parent per Scout although that is optional, Scouts can attend without a parent. Those parents wishing to go but haven't had a Scout CRB clearance you have time to get one done if you hurray so please don't delay.

We set sail out of Whitby Harbour to sail down the east coast of Britain to about Harwich when we make the two day sailing across the North Sea to Holland. We will have some shore time to enjoy the area and hopefully hire bikes for a couple of days cycling sightseeing.

On board you will be part of the crew and must help sail the boat from steering and navigation to setting the sails. The night crossing will mean round the clock sailing so night shifts for all will be needed. Cooking is also compulsory for all but don't panic you will not be expected to make any fancy meals. After a days sailing most will eat anything put in front of us!

Though I'm unsure how many this expedition will attract I do hope to charter two yachts like the one in the picture so we can hold daily races to add to the fun of crossing the North Sea. If you know you intend to go please e-mail the centre during the holidays on onepsc@live.co.uk asap

It's an amazing opportunity for all our Scouts and adults alike. The last weekend offshore sailing we did was an amazing experience that I can safely say no one will ever forget.

Not included in the price is transport to Whitby, Scouts that have difficulty getting to Whitby but want to go please speak to your Scout Leader. All accommodation is in mixed bunked rooms. All sailing safety equipment is included. You must be able to pack light as there's no wardrobes for clothing. It all goes on your bunk bed!
