Rather a nice private cruiser on the Loch this afternoon:-

Now if only I'd won the £34.5 million on Euromillions last week!

An there was me trying to slip in unobtrusively for the nights concert.Instead of hiding below deck I might as well have just gave you a wave. :lol:

You're a bit of a fibber Bill, that's not your boat.......I recognise that boat.

Sure that is the one Robbie Williams had in the loch 2 or 3 years ago....that'll be him back again and I would not be one bit surprised if he was supporting the Stranglers tonight in the Vic.....or maybe a solo performance on the Whisky Macs stage. That is if the Police have not got there first!
Mind you, Do do do da da da and So Lonely would go down pretty well with the regulars in WM and the Ailsa :oops:

Yeah we saw that too. Bit of a beast. Dread to think what it cost to buy.

Nice boat in Loch

Looks like a Yacht called Solaia. Costs 88,000 euros to charter for the week. Not 100% but it looks very like it. Also sold for 18 million dollars!

Aye, it looks like the Solaia right enough... bit far from its home base though..lol. The occupants must have heard about the famous Mull of Kintyre music festival right enough or maybe ran oot o a dram and arrived to buy Springbank :)

I saw the same Yacht moored in Inverness last weekend when I was up for Alison O'May's wedding. The Senior amateur Championship was also being played at Nairn and there were a number of very wealthy Americans playing. Word was that it was one of them who had the boat. Probably down now to play at the putting green.....if it's open.
