Before we even arrived on Orkney the party was in full flow on the Scabster to Stromness sailing.
The ferry was packed with schoolchildren who are active in all sorts of sports, from rugby to football and hockey to polo.
Kirkwall City Pipe Band were outside at the stern of the ferry with the deafening sound of the pipe and drums.
Meanwhile inside, the West Mainland Strathspey and Reel Society performed a selection of traditional Orkney tunes.
Oh, and of course, Clyde was there too (well, why wouldn't he be?).
Fifteen-year-old Daniel has recently passed his Level One Sports Leadership course, and helped to organise and run a sports hall event for primary pupils.
He is also a member of the Westray Senior Youth Club and is currently putting a lot of time into rehearsals for their upcoming Scottish concert.
James has coached the local junior football club for more than 15 years.
The club is attended by almost all of the children aged five to 16 on the island.
In the words of those who nominated him, James's long and significant contribution is "much appreciated" and makes him "a great role model".

The baton is going to head to the 5,000 year old settlement of Skara Brae and to the Ring of Brodgar, a stone circle older than the pyramids.
Not everyone is happy to see the baton, however. One woman tells me she picked the wrong day to go to the Orkneys.
"All this fuss for a stick!" she says.
There's been some excitement on Twitter over the baton's arrival by ferry.
Baton Relay press officer Cláudia Monteiro tweets, external: "That's what I call a group shot! Beautiful crossing to Orkney this am @Clyde2014 @Batonrelay2014 #BatonRelay"
