Salcombe Sailing Week

Leckby enjoyed a typically British summer week down in Salcombe this year. The sunshine welcomed the group to the south coast and everyone was excited by the prospect of topping up their northern tans. Gusty winds and low water put their sailing skills to the test from day one and there were more than a few who ended up in the water, or in the mud! The weather turned on Wednesday, bringing a harsh reminder of just how cold it can be in England, especially in the water. Lightning on Thursday put a quick end to sailing that day, and driving the group into the classroom to look at sailing theory and rope work. A great week was had by all; everyone got fully involved in the sailing, kayaking, raft building, team games and famous ‘wet night’.
