Any chance of bumping into any of your esteemed selves?

Re: Off we go
Yes it was good to see you guys again, how are the rowing blisters Nick?
I got another chance to cox the Stornoway skiff at our own festival and won a Marag for my troubles.
That pesky Contessa Marisca snuck off with 2 firsts and a second in the yacht races. He has won several creels and paintings now so the boat should surely be getting too heavily laden to win again next year.
All told, a great wee cruise. Less of an adventure than previous years, considerably less mileage, and more enjoyable for it in a lot of ways.

Re: Off we go
I still need some floating line and markers for the creels so I might be back up again. Lewis in sunshine is a rather nice place but the clegs are something else. 38 litres of fuel to get back to Oban for WHYW - I think I sailed for about 2 hours, if that - pity only 25% of it goes to moving the boat.
SailHebrides is highly recommended.
