The sailors are doing a fab job and we hope to be at Salem for 17.30 for the 23 mile run up Ben More.

We did it! A hard slog for all but team Kookaburra are delighted to have finished our first Islands Peaks Race. Not only that, but we managed to raise over £5k for the National Autistic Society as well as fundraising for Leukaemia Research and the Yorkhill Children's Foundation. We would like to thank everyone who sponsored us and supported us on this challenge. 'Thank You!'

Go Kookaburra!
You all looked great leaving Oban Bay in the sunshine-with spinnaker up! While we were sitting having lunch in EE`USK on the North Pier.
