Big, big thanks from Kate and Marion to "the few" who turned out on a very foggy Saturday to collect for our Charity last Saturday. The morning dawned with thick fog across Douglas Bay but spirits were good amongst our collectors. The grand total for the day was £2,497, the best ever for Douglas, which averaged £100 for each collector. Just think what we would have raised if more of you had turned out! |

| Prior to the departure of Pride of Mann II to the Western Isles on the annual training sail for skippers and mates, our Training Officer Rodger Clague carried out a man overboard procedure in Douglas Harbour. With the permission of the Harbour Authorities two volunteers were put into the water, then be lifted by three methods back on board, whilst Rodger assessed and criticised the procedure. Arne Dahn filmed the exercise which will be used in future training of our crews. |
