In this episode I speak with Joy and David who are both key members of Killyleagh Coastal Rowing Club. They kindly let me interrupt them during an evening of boat prep in the club shed (also David's shed!).

I was not familiar with the sport, but coming away from the chat I soon realised how important the sport is for coastal communities, bringing people of all ages closer together and also to the coastline - not forgetting the physical and mental health benefits.

As the episode is recorded alongside other members working on the boat, there is some background noise so I do apologise for that, but please don't let it take away from the valuable conversation.

Please let me know if this episode inspires you to grab your oars with a local club!
