Seems that burly sailor types are in fact the biggest bunch of girly gossips ever. By 7am the word in the shower block was that for the first time in peaks race history competitors would be obliged to motor all the way to mull so the runners could get on with their race. It seems the impeccable logic behind this particular rumour was that there is no wind, the tides are against us and the runners might get bored if it took a while longer. As you might expect it turns out to be a pile of mince, and the race goes ahead exactly as normal. Cue lots of runners going to waterstones in oban for a book or 5. Thankfully we have no such issues, as a direct result of not really giving a stuff when we finish. Sorted.

Is there not any pedalos for the runners to "tug" the boats out with - it'll give them something to do, you know, keep them off the streets ...
