The weekend started with "Fish n Chips" and then on Saturday we sailed down to Aira Point, with 30/50 fruit cake once back at the club . The evening for some was spent with some club members participating in a Greek themed evening, while others headed for the pub in Pooley Bridge. Sunday dawned to good sunshine and the fleet splitting into two, either up to Pooley Bridge or down to Glenridding. While those who stayed onto Monday were greeted with no wind and light rain.

Seven boats attended the rally and experienced a full range of weather conditions, as well as a pleasant evening meal and breakfast bacon rolls at the Inchmurrin Hotel.

The trip took eight days, leaving Craobh Haven and heading up the Sound of Mull before reaching the upper part of Loch Sunart, returning via Port Ramsey on Lismore, also stopping over at Puilladobhrain and Ardinamir. The photo below shows the stock check at the end of the trip, which led to a re-supply drive to Oban, where it was possible to see the new pontoons. These are aimed a short stopovers, of no more than three days. A new toilet and shower block is currently under construction.
