A couple of newbie paddlers in SOTs. These 2 had never paddled before. But before we knew it, they were at the end of Loch Lomond, and had returned safely. They're naturals!

Some guy towed his remote-controlled sailboat to the island. This boat wasn't controlled with RC, it was controlled with long filament.

Lisa also proves that it CAN be done!
