Saturday 11 July, RHYC Hogroast

Today was a bit of a shorter day (the forenoon was missed due to a slightly later than usual start.) During the day we noticed a Fisher 30 called ‘Mandalay’ proceed up the loch so we decided it would be good if a couple of FOA Flag Officers would go and say hello. Dinghies were prepared and at around 1730 we departed the marina and headed the full length of the loch where Barbara and Steve diverted to Mandalay to say hello and Nick and Tracey continued on to a concrete ramp up in the corner, where we met with a fleet of other tenders all nestling around the ramp. Delightful hogroast, hosted by the Royal Highland Yacht Club, who invited RNSA members to join in. We tried to find David and Sylvia Norris, FOA members and Mandalay owners, but failed miserably to achieve it. Still we all tried, as David and Sylvia were hunting for us too.

Dinghy run back to the marina and onboard Halcyon Sea with other sailor friends from the hog roast, Damon and Elaine and Graham and Wendy, where we sat and consumed a bit more and chatted into the wee small hours again.Read more
