We don't have the Wednesday evening blues because we're in Oban, getting #sipr25 reg ready for you tomorrow! Our island teams are starting to head out as well, and we see lots of familiar looking boats... only be two more days to go.

Sun comes up, it's Tuesday morning. Hit's me straight in the eye, guess you forgot to close the blinds last night... oh that's right, I forgot it was 3 days to go until #sipr25.
