Sadler 29 'Sunshine'

I first came across Sunshine as she was sitting on a rather uncomfortable berth at Scalasaig on Colonsay, where I had a chat with the skipper's wife.

I managed to get some pics of her whilst the ferry overtook her.

I then spotted her again at Tobermory, and had a chat with the crew.

The skipper is going to circumnavigate the UK clockwise (properly - not via the caley canal). He started somewhere in NW England. He only bought the boat at the beginning of June. I didn't get a chance to speak to the skipper.

Treading the boards at Scalasaig

I'd guess that being "on the boards" at Scalasaig would be very uncomfortable in any wind direction without a "W" in it .

Very true. Even with a W there can sometimes be swell from the E that comes right in. Mine are by no means the only stantions (sp?) to get bent there.

Showers at the Hotel though.

A certain Poster of this Parish made himself very unwelcome there after the alleged windae lowpin' incident.

They were pretty tolerant of me w**king in the room. Mind you, they won't have found out 'till the curtains got dry cleaned.
