Summer Holidays (At last!)

Summer hols have at last arrived, great to have both girls back in the country and more importantly, in the same place!  Ellie was at an indoor ski training camp at Braehead last week and Isobel was at a hockey camp in Edinburgh and Julie just acting as chauffeur.

Saturday at last saw us all in the same place.  Isobel and I were joining Tom Ian and Jim to sail on Ian's boat Tioram in Wet Highland Week.

Saturday was the feeder race from Oban to Craobh Haven.  We got a good start in clear air mid-line and were able to maintain it down the sound of Kerera emerging from the Sound in 6th place and all was looking good until the usual parking lot saw us becalmed off Easdale as the first three boats sailed off into the distance.  The rest of the fleet then sailed up behind us on the new breeze and although we were fifth over the line the smaller boats beat us on handicap having been favoured by the new breeze.
