VI South Club Night – An Island Too Far: 2022 Scottish Islands Cruise

VI South invites you to the April hybrid club night about a cruise to the Scottish Islands!

What started out as a cruise to the Danish Faroe Islands from Inverness, Scotland, via the Orkneys, was not to be… Weather, the great arbitrator, served up adverse winds and seas dictating a change to Plan “B”. Over a five week period our speakers diverted to the Shetland Islands, transited the Caledonian Canal, and sampled the Hebrides. Not bad as far as second choices go.

Join Barrie and Sandra Letts as they share their adventure aboard Kealoha V, their friends Mike and Cate’s classic Moody 42, with a few added pictures from their earlier visit to the area in 2015, aboard Passat II (see June 2015 postings on svpassatii.blogspot.com).

This presentation will not offer up photos of sunny beaches with scanty bathing costumes. However, if rugged scenery, surprising history, rare wildlife, and single malt pique your interest, join us in welcoming Barrie and Sandra Letts on Tuesday April 18 for what promises to be the recount of an excellent adventure.

Hybrid Meeting Format

In-Person Attendees:

For those attending in-person, the format will be very much the same as “normal”. Doors to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Maine Lounge open at 7:00 and meeting starts at 7:30, with presentation immediately to follow.

Covid Protocol: COVID protocols have been suspended as per BCA policy available here. Please remember to respect those members and guests who may choose to wear a mask to BCA events at this time.

Cost: $5/Members, $10/Non-Members

Virtual Attendees:

Virtual club nights (via Zoom) have enabled BCA to continue our monthly meetings and presentations throughout the pandemic, with an added bonus of expanding our community to members and non-members across the globe. With the return to in-person meetings BCA has continued to provide a virtual component to our club nights as it has significant benefits to our membership. This however comes at a cost for the purchase of cameras, audio equipment and the lost revenue due to a decrease of in-person attendance used to off-set venue costs.

Cost: Members—$5.00 per connected device; Non-Members, $10 per connected device
