A dodgy knot!!


Today was our third day on Tenacity and it was an eventful one. We went ashore at Peil Island to explore the ruined castle, when we arrived back at the jetty we discovered the knot tying up the dinghy had come undone and it had floated away!! We were stranded on an island without a way to get back to Tenacity!

We then saw the dinghy floating far away in the distance. Luckily we found another dinghy to borrow and Colin, Luke and Alastair rowed across the bay to get it back. We then had to spend a couple of hours stuck on the island with 2 sheep and lots of dead crabs.

In the afternoon we went for a sail near the wind farm and did some tacking practice but there wasn’t much wind so we motored back to anchor at Peil Island for dinner. For dinner Luke and Alastair cooked chicken Korma and Roan made delicious apple crumble, the best Colin and Mary had tasted!!
