Great to see the team out volunteering. Also a great charity @OYTScotland worth supporting.
Last week Chris, Edward, Paul & Chris from CMAL spent the day volunteering with local charity @OYTScotland supporting drydock works. OYT runs residential voyages at sea, & land-based activities like orienteering & crate climbing to young people in local communities.
