Preperations are well underway for this saturdays rib rendevous, the site looks amazing with the stretch tents, the bunting and what feels like 50 billion chairs. The bar is stocked, the wine has arrived (via, van then ferry then quad bike so its very well travelled!) The kitchen has been busy and we are very close to feeling a bit ready!
A few house keeping points please, when you arrive at the pontoons please be patient and look out for our staff who will be guiding you to the appropriate place for your boat on the pontoons. This might be slightly different to the map, its like trapping cats trying to keep track of who is coming and what size their boat is...on this occasion size really does matter! But please go with what our staff are directing you, they have the most up to date information on spaces.
Skippers breakfast is in the top shed, we are blantantly bribing you to come to the briefing with the promise of a coffee and a bacon butty! But there will also be breakfast butties and some home baking, tea, coffee avaliable at the waypoint for the crew. The oban lifeboatvwill be here for tours (ad long as they arent on a call out!) And then for those that fancy we will have our food festival in the evening, the auction and raffle at 8 and then the wonderful playing into the night.
Cash is king! We do take cards but have 2 card machine and limited wifi so card payments do really slow everything down. We can take card payments for the auction - just in case you see something you fancy - im pretty sure the helmet model doesnt come with the helmets so dont let that put you off!
And finally, we are a small marina with a staff team who are quite frankly magificant! Please treat them with respect, they will move mountains to keep everything running smoothly but some things can take a bit of time. Please pack your sense of humour, you smiles and your patience along with, dare i say it...your suncream and waterproof jacket!
Be like Bill, keep calm and drink in the waypoint!
We are looking forward to seeing you on saturday, safe journeys here. X
