Reports of my loss at sea

have been greatly exaggerated.
Just got back to Dunstaffnage tonight. Never really went anywhere but sailed every day. Forecasts were the most correct and consistent ever; F4/5 increasing (occasionally/ for a time/ later/ in the north etc.) F6, fair, moderate or good, slight or moderate.
Anchoring under sail in Puilladobhrain in 20 knots was a highlight. Silkie does 2.5 knots under bare poles it would seem.
I'd planned to have a day boat-fixing tomorrow but N&K are apparently coming for a sail. Excellent!
Currently tying one on with Merrry Monster. Pics to follow, maybe.
