Sea Cadets build skills
May 5, 2016
The months of March and April saw a variety of activities at the local sea cadet corps, 229 Viking. In an exciting adventure for a sea cadet, Petty Officer Second Class Sonora Plumb travelled to Victoria over the March break to participate in a week-long sail on a tall ship. While sailing around Victoria she gained experience with raising and lowering the sails, navigation, steering the ship, and various other aspects of handling a tall ship under sail.
Back at the corps, the cadets have been participating in seamanship, fitness, and team building activities. Two cadets, Nick McNalty and Logan Kauffeldt, have been promoted as well; they now both wear the rank of Able Seaman. Most recently the cadets learned about World War Two’s Battle of the Atlantic, in preparation for the commemoration which took place at Our Lady of Mercy Roman Catholic Church last Sunday.
