RNLI Charity Cruise

Must have been slacking as I have just realised I have not blogged for about two weeks. Perhaps I have been too busy!
Spotted this lovely old Norwegian boat on the loch a couple of days ago when I was skippering the Jacobite Legend.
Cruises still busy and the weather holding up not too badly. Noticed when it was raining in the South we have had it dry up here in the beautiful Highlands. There has been quite a strong north easterly wind blowing over the last few days but not strong enough to disrupt our sailings. Windy enough, combined with the sunshine to produce a few red, weather beaten faces, including mine.
Saturday 12th July sees our big charity fundraising cruise get underway. Our crew nominate one charity each year to support and as we have a new RNLI lifeboat on Loch Ness it was decided to help them in their first season. We are sailing a Pirate Cruise on Saturday evening with all proceeds going to our Loch Ness lifeboat. Boat for the cruise donated by Jacobite. Rod Michie and Etta have kindly donated the buffet supper. Hoping to have Etta's famous Stovies!
Our Jacobite crew have donated their time and all the profits from the bar are also being donated. We will also be having an auction with some very nice donations. If anyone wants to buy tickets, £15 per person including buffet supper, contact Jacobite on 01463 233999.
