Whale Oil Beef Hooked

Thar she blows.

We stayed here two nights, during which time Gordon wanted to investigate the old speed log on the hull which had an annoying rattle. So off he went and donned the wetsuit before taking the plunge. It’s deceiving, although the water looks gorgeous, it’s still blinking cold. I can tell you that, I dipped my fingers in it.

After getting accustomed to the temperature he managed to swim underneath and tie it up so as to stop the rattle. Just as well there were no sharks around; they would have thought it was their lucky day when the biggest seal had come to town for a swim.

Editor’s Note –  I know I have the wetsuit on back to front ! It was just easier that way. It seems to have shrunk over the years and this was the best method of squeezing into it,lol.

We went  a walk out past the golf course and headed for the North of the island.

It was a beautiful summers day and so hot I had to borrow Gordon’s Tilley hat that he bought in Oban last year and hasn’t,t worn !
