91热爆

Hi fellow islanders, hope the summer is treating you all well. I am trying to upload a photo of the Gigha raft race. It went well with a staggering 11 rafts entered (and believe me it was staggering that some were able to float...). There were some excellent entries - folks had gone to some effort in preparing their rafts (the Austrian girls deserve a special mention for their tropical entry and for stimulating some of the lads into action - ah, but that is another blog for another day...).
We have fewer such events on gigha than other islands and we need to get more going as it was great fun. We even had a swimming competition for the hardy (read daft) who were willing to brave the icy waters. Not to worry, there was the BBQ and beer to warm folks up afterwards.
Next event is a football competition - Scotland vs the World. Hopefully our 'girly footballers' (these are girls - though some of the lads could also come into this category...) will be taking part! Scotland vs The World will be followed by another BBQ (gosh, I can feel the rain clouds gathering already) and some (shock horror) live music.
Oh - dont forget the gigha Music Festival on 9-11 Sep - lots and lots of live acts and good time promised!
Hopefully a picture of a raft will accompany this blog - could not upload the ones I wanted since they were over 200K - most of my photies were!!

HI there - some flavour of the start of the race. Despite the rammy - the rafts did set sail and disappointingly for those watching there were no capsizers... Joe did have to evacuate ship towards the end and walk home -but that was to avoid coming last - coward!!
We need more entrants from other islands for next years - but hey, we might even make more of an effort to publicise it too!
Happy days.....
