Skyetime
The Isle of Skye is one of the jewels in the crown of Scottish Tourism. The Skyetime Podcast aims to celebrate Skye, the amazing array of visitor-facing businesses, the culture, history, geography and people of the island. It will demonstrate why Skye should be on everyone's 'bucket list' and provide ideas to help visitors experience more of what the island has to offer. Skyetime is hosted by Simon Cousins, a broadcaster with over thirty years experience who lives on Skye and works with local organisations to promote the island and individual businesses. Skyetime (the brand) is an initiative of SkyeConnect - the Destination Management Organisation for Skye and neighbouring areas.

Episode 23
In the latest edition of the Skyetime Podcast, Simon Cousins meets the Bristol Gulls. The Gulls are a team of four female rowers preparing to take on the Talisker Atlantic Rowing Challenge. The three thousand mile race starts from La Gomera in the Canary Isles on the 12th of December and will take between 35 and 55 days to reach the finish line in Antigua. As part of their training they brought their boat Vaquita to Skye to spend a week circumnavigating the island, with the new Skye Flag painted on the stern of the boat. During a break in training Simon sat down with the Gulls to talk about their epic adventure.
