Jim arrived at lunchtime and I was keen to leave Oban to break the back of the journey to Fort William.
Griff set off home in jim's car and we started preparing the boat.
The wind had picked up considerably and I did not use enough engine revs in reverse. The wind caught us and we ended up at 90 degrees across the back of the boat next door!
Jim had to take the weigh of the boat and fend us off while I tried to execute some sort of escape! Not pretty and very embarrassing - but we got away in the end.
Poor Jim- he had left home at 06:00, driven all the way and then had to deal with that!
Oh well, hopefully no harm done excep to my ego!
Anchored in a nice bay at the moment, with the usual anchor alarms causing an interrupted night.
Hopefully into the canal today and up the locks at Neptune's staircase.
