Long hours of practise and dedication paid off for members of 136 Amphion Royal Canadian Sea Cadets.
The Nanaimo group placed first in the provincial seamanship competition held at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt last month.
Coached by Lt. Darrell Dudley, the cadets – Carmela deGracia, Taylor Patten, Aiden Campbell, Tyler Davidson, Sierra Bready, Justin Koelewyn, Jocelyn Hitchen, Adam Mikus, Joshua Palmer – were among 330 cadets from Royal Canadian Sea Corps throughout B.C. that competed in four zone competitions between December and February.
It’s the second year in a row Amphion has captured top spot at the competition.
