Even strong freak winds and earthquakes were unable to spoil the fun at this year’s West Ardnamurchan annual regatta.
It was early on the Friday morning, the second day of the races, that saw freak winds damage the marquee which housed the bar, burger counter and stalls, and it required a Herculean effort at six in the morning to re-erect it and tidy the mess.
Then, as spectators watched the early afternoon races, two of the strongest earthquakes in 30 years rocked the area.
