Is it an all day event, or just an afternoon one?
Is it likely to be cancelled if it rains, or will it still go ahead ?

Found a link to the grounding in a post by Dylan Winter in Scuttlebut on 21st October 2011. Unfortunately I can't find how to paste links on my phone.

Here you go.

here we are

well it can happen to anyone

although on second listening he did not actually call the life-boat

he did the correct thing and told the coast guard who probably made the decsion about calling the life-boat out.

I for one would have been pleased to have had two strong men in a very reliable and powerful rin to be with me as the boat floated off

as a cameraman I would alos be grateful to realise that I could offload the cameras from a vessel that might sink to one that almost certainly won't

all round a great bit of telly I think.

It was a real incident - well filmed

I'm hoping that normal service of wind, rain and fleece-needing temperatures is resumed this year. I'm fed up with motoring around in flat calms exposing my celtic skin to the carcinogenic sun, unable to even swim due to the blooms of Lions Mane jellyfish

Summer seems to be happening right now, which is a shame for those of us who have been eagerly sharpening our crampons! On the other hand my boat is still in the water so I have been enjoying the winter sun.

Yes, depressing that we are discussing 'summer' whilst still waiting for the main winter to arrive for a bit of touring etc..

Sorry, it's probably my fault.

I bought some new ski skins the other week, just before last time it snowed. We've had the heat wave since I dug the skis out of the attic to cut & fitted the skins!

Sorry

Tried watching the st kilda one, supremely boring, not sure what the point of them is except to push their website up the rankings.

I love the Scottish Summer; best day of the year

Weird thing is that I sailed motored up there for the summer of 2018. Wall to wall sunshine and hot for all but the two weeks my partner joined me. but she still loved it. We plan to spend more summers up there
