My last blog before setting off back home.
Seriously, it has been a fantastic week and has sailed by all too quickly,
We awoke this morning to the radio informing us that UK had been battered by rain and storms, Wales was flooded and lifeboats despatched around the coast. Not in Oban. Another glorious morning, breakfast on deck and we have had to put on sun lotion.
We had a great meal last night at fish rest overlooking marina which topped off brilliant week.
So what have we learnt this week.
More whales than scots in the Hebrides.
It doesn't always rain in Scotland.
That sailors never use the obvious term for anything, I was well aware of the port/starboard stuff but apparently despite my eyes telling me the boat sorry yacht is full of ropes they are lines or warps or sheets or halyards etc. I can only draw the conclusion it is a bizarre form of snobbery trying to boost egos of the sailing fraternity and making everything seem more complicated than it actually is.
Never get involved in a conversation with a Scotsman sat at a bar with both a pint and chaser in front of him, that is only going to end one way.
Keep it secret but the weather is better in Scotland.
The dj's on Scottish local radio are that bad it makes you pine for Dave lee travis.
A flappy sail is an unhappy sail.
Vanessa must be some sort of saint to have lived with captain rusty for 23 years.
We have both regressed back to 18 year olds
Anyway been great , thanks to rusty , hope it all goes as well for future mates.
