Oban Lifeboat launch

Oban Lifeboat Crew were paged at 11:02 today. My information is third-hand but I believe they are searching for a weel-kent Dunstaffnage yachtsman. I'm hoping for a happy ending but it doesn't look good at the moment from what I've heard.

I got word today, and it is not a happy ending, its also someone we had met, very sad.
I don't want to mention names on the forum.

Has there been any more news? The P & J yesterday is the only source I can find http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/3200480 but it doesn't say much.

AFAIK they are still waiting for the body to surface but I'm off up there now so will see if there's any more news.

A body, still to be formally identified but assumed to be David Jenkins, has been discovered by a dog walker on the shores of Dunstaffnage Bay.
