Sailing Session at Vikings Club

Towards the end of July the Unit met up again for what was to be the 2nd of many sea-based activities this summer. This time the Unit ventured down to the Vikings Sailing Club at Haywharf in Marsamxetto harbour to get accustomed to sailing small craft and to have some fun on the water.

Before the ventures set out on their 18 ft wayfarer, the instructor gave a short safety briefing and explained the course on which they were to sail. They then set off, going round the course of 3 buoys utilising the steady breeze to the full.

After a couple of hours on the course and the Marsamxetto area, the sailors decided to pack it in for the day, so they packed in the sails and pulled the boat ashore and headed home in wait for the next water-based activity. Though this time the activity was on land... in the middle of Swieqi to be exact!
