Update 19th October

Filming for the next series of the BBC's "Coast" programme took place on Marigot at fairly low tide to get the best view of the old pillars. (Badger having gone before to check the depth across this sandbank as an added precaution)

The mist rolling around the piers of the old bridge can be quite scary....

Introductory training in Rib handling took place on Sunday between Broughty Ferry and the Rail Bridge, alongside Badger and Marigot (all three boats were involved in training).
