Day 3 - at Islay

The day started with the dubbed, “Graveyard Shift” though caffeinated drinks and chocolate bars saw us through until morning. Weary, at 4AM, we handed over to the other team who dropped anchor and went to bed. Breakfast was served late with lashings of ketchup and banter, a brief sail to the Isle of Islay was all that was required of the morning shift.

We spent the day at rest; a tour of the local village and Laphroaig whiskey distillery was on the menu. The extremely smokey whiskey was enjoyed (in moderation of course) by most! A brief spell in the local shops allowed us to replace the lost bucket and restock essential food items (Coke, Mars bars and the like)!

After some on-board chores (such as restocking the water tank), we set out minds on tea; some chicken fajitas were choice of the day. Route planning was the final task, after devising a ‘secret’ route using pasta pieces to denote ports. The route can of course be tracked on this blog; more to follow. On a slightly unrelated note, it has come to our attention that an unnamed crewmate… Toryn… has never seen the Lion King.
