Over 20 boats assembled in Kerrera Marina for the start of the pary on Friday 16th June. The light winds meant that most boats arrived under engine, but the blue skies and hot sun made Oban feel almost mediteranean. Waypoint at Kerrera put on a splendid buffet, featuring a whole salmon and other local seafood, plus pulled pork baps and salads which were much enjoyed  by both locals and visitors. Lorna Hill entertained us with a recitation of "The Shipping Forecast" and the superb weather meant that everyone stayed late, sitting out on the Waypoint Terrace until past last orders.

Satuday also dawned sunny and hot, the only drawback being very little wind for the afternoon's race. It was hoped that this would set off round Kerrera, but in the event the course was shortened to down Kerrera Sound and back before the day ended with food and music in Oban Sailing Club and back at the Marina.

Sunday morning started slowly, with few making the Distillery Tour, but our parade of sail had enough wind to make progress round Oban Bay in the afternoon before the fleet dispersed.
