Emptied the whisky bottle and some Swedish beers as we could hear the wind growing in power. We had made it in time and the weather had closed in. The next day we got the train back to Oban, at 9am the staff came up the aisle with a trolley asking if we wanted beer – err no – the chap opposite asked for some Tennants – welcome to Scotland. We saw the Ark Royal from the train – the train journey is a delight up to Oban.

An adventure came to an end, the boat delivered in almost one piece, good companions and the weather window kept open for us.
