Hi

I'm just wondering if any boats are staying up for the week after the IERR? I'm not trying to crash anyone's party but if some boats were - and open to company - it might help me make a decision. Having originally planned about a 10 day trip (a bit before and week after) my crew's just bailed on me. So I'm trying to decide whether to come up solo - balancing the drive vs time on the water. The tow doesn't bother me as I've done longer. So just wondering if the event stretches out unoficially afterwards?

I am sure there will be some boats that stay on for part of the week. A group of us usually do a Monday cruise, so you could tag along. If the weather is good perhaps Tuesday as well. There may be a group of boats arriving mid week based in Oban who cant make IERR. I suggest you use the event WhatsApp group when it is open to all on the Thursday to network with all those attending . We are currently at 103 boats, well in excess of last years biggest number of 83 Registrations

My first year I was billy no mates on my own and have made some really good friends that I now talk to most days (generally about utter crap...)

We will be be driving on the Thursday afternoon and heading out for a trip somewhere on the Friday and then another on the Monday all tbc and weather dependant. We found a couple of tag alongs last year that we have kept in touch with and met up with a few times in the past 12 months so you're welcome to join us if it suits.

Guys - thank you both very much for that. Knowing that a few folk are staying a little longer is encouraging. A chance to get a couple more days out on the water, and perhaps some company to boot, will make the effort all the more worthwhile.
