A huge congratulations to Cadet First Class Lillie and Able Cadet Hollie-May, who were both awarded their Offshore Hand 1 qualification following their voyage in TS Royalist. ⛵

Their time at sea gave them the opportunity to develop their seamanship skills, teamwork, confidence and experience of life in one of the Sea Cadets' offshore sail training vessels

A brilliant achievement for both cadets and another qualification to be proud of. Well done, Lillie-Rose and Hollie-May! 👏⚓

Drill Team perform at the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire Awards Night.

On Tuesday evening at the Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire’s Awards evening our Ceremonial Drill Team had the honour and privilege to perform the colour party routine in front of the Lord Lieutenant and distinguished guests at this prestigious event.

The Cadets in the team have spent the last few weeks training hard in perfecting their drill movements to ensure the display ran like clockwork.

It is a wonderful thing when you see young people take the initiative as a team, and commit themselves to a rigorous training regime to achieve perfection.

Huge Bravo Zulu to our Drill Team on a job well done!

We are all proud of your commitment and dedication.

That’s a wrap on another amazing week of Offshore Adventure that has seen Cadets from Long Eaton Sea Cadets Sailing and Motoring along the South Coast to Weymouth.

Cadet Olivia joined TS Jack Petchey in Torquay last Saturday and has had an amazing week at sea learning new skills and gaining new experiences that help to develop resilience and confidence.

At the same time Cadet Olivia joined TS Jack Petchey in Torquay, sisters AC Hollie-May and CFC Lili-Rose joined the Sea Cadet Flag Ship TS Royalist in Brixham.

During the week both ships rendezvoused and sailed in company along the South Coast and at some point conducted a sail past and in the finest traditions of the Royal Navy turned fire hoses on each other and conducted a Mexican wave.

All three cadets have had an amazing time making a lifetime of memories and fantastic new friends.

Today, we proudly celebrate World Maritime Day and everything that the maritime world represents.

For centuries, the sea has connected nations, carried people and goods across the globe, supported communities and inspired generations. Today is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the incredible people, organisations and industries that continue to make the maritime world what it is.

Here at Long Eaton Sea Cadets – TS Indomitable, the maritime world is at the heart of so much that we do. ⚓

Whether our cadets are out on the water, learning seamanship, developing their navigation skills, working as part of a crew or discovering more about Britain's rich maritime heritage, we are proud to help inspire the next generation.

Today is about celebrating our connection to the sea, recognising the importance of the maritime community and appreciating the opportunities that it continues to create.

So today, join us in celebrating World Maritime Day! 🌍🌊⚓

Here's to our seas, our sailors, our maritime heritage and the future generations who will continue the journey.
