A fisherman from Luing went to deliver his boat from mooring in Cuan to Toberonochy - ended up in Loch Melfort after engine failure. Rowed ashore and waited for rescue. He had no radio, mobile and was not wearing a lifejacket -coastguard found him at 01.15am - I wonder what they said to him!
By the way the second time he has had to be rescued.

Excuse my ignorance, but why did he need rescueing after rowing ashore?

It's a long walk to Luing! Don't understand why he didn't go to the nearest house and phone.

I was told on another forum that the CG "Seastart" scheme didn't operate in Scotland. It would seem I was badly advised.
