We departed Crinan yacht basin at 0930. We had looked
forward to getting some scones from the café prior to departure, but they had
none. David resolved to make some pancakes to compensate us, but instead made
scrambled egg for lunch, which was very well received! The sea was flat but the
day was grey and cloudy, and the rain came and went throughout the day as other
vessels appeared and disappeared again in the misty murk. There was no wind and
all day was spent motoring. We entered Port Ellen in another shower and were
grateful to tie up and dry out. Roger cooked chicken and rice whilst the rest
of us invested in socialising with the local community. David made a new
girlfriend in the local hotel whilst we sampled the local whiskies and ales.
Tomorrow is an early start, bound for Glenarm in Northern Ireland.
Jokes:
It turns out yesterday's joke was Roger's joke, but these really are Peter's:
Q. Guess who I bumped into at Specsavers'?
A. Everybody!
I bought a litre of Tipex yesterday! Big mistake!
Q. What does a hungry clock do?
A. Goes back 4 seconds!
