/(had never been done before—not surprisingly—so this intrepid group set out to do it: (I to r) Ray Hea/ey, his wife Maureen, Remo Mele, Gillian Earles and George McLeod. The feat was to water ski the 50 miles between Lochinver and Stornoway. Generous sponsorship from the public and the fishing industry produced over £1,000 for the RNLI.
