or simply sample what cruising in company is all about, please add your
name, contact details and availability to the "crew" list

CRUISING UPDATE - MAY 2010
Last Weekend our cruising in company event was programed for a three
day holiday weekend cruise round Bute. Due to the intimated weather
west of Bute we did not quite make a passage round Bute however shared
a very relaxing weekend which included a night ashore at Colintrive,
Kyles of Bute, a cruise up Loch Striven and a barbie on the beach at
Port Banatyne on the Sunday night.
The weather was kind , the company superb and a good time was had by
all.
If you have not yet experienced cruising in company why do you not join
us for the next cruise.

Pre eveing gathering on "Claymore" awaiting the rest of
the group to join us before landing at Colintrive.
Barbie ashore at Port Banatyne on the Sunday Night.
