Other Oban news

Neil G here. As captain has indicated, we made it ahead of storms into Oban, sadly no further sightings of whales or dolphins on the way... But we somewhat bizarrely saw journalist and author Will Self wandering round the damp back streets of Oban, not as good as a minke whale but quite a quirky spot.

We think we have really arrived in the real Scotland, plenty of scots for a change including your classic pub drunks complete with pints and whisky chasers who made a beeline for captain rusty, these two started to tell us how they had met in jail and how local police were overly violent with them. Despite rusty seeking to enhance his credibility as a brawling sea drunk to make up for lack of pipe and tattoo, we beat a hasty retreat before it all became a bit messy. I did feel at one point like an extra in Ran C Nesbitt.

Thanks for nominations for our celebrities you despise list. Suggestions include Paul McCartney , bono, Russell brand and an ever increasing number of tv chefs including marco pierre white and Jamie Oliver

Today we are going to be tourists in a wet seaside resort in the Uk. I feel this may provide evidence of why Brits head to the Med in huge numbers.

  1. Simon Cowell needs to be added to the list. Captain Crusty should make Simon Cowell walk the plank off his boat!

  2. Sounds like the lifestyle and stories are getting wilder and wilder. Must be the remoteness as well as the english reserve wearing off.
