	July 2011

		Badger and Marigot



	Trips trips and more trips. We like doing these as we get to share the waterborne experience with folk who might not have been out on the Tay before and it also raises funds for the vessels maintenance and fuel. We’re training too though at the same time and putting 8 new trainees through their RYA Powerboat Level 2 in conjunction with the Sea Cadets in Dundee in a few weeks

		June 2011



		Passenger trips start. Dolphins are back in some numbers. So are jellyfish. The weather’s improved. Broughty Ferry Gala day. Raybans. More jellyfish.
