Captain Pugwash big Adventure…
Yet another first for intrepid thrill seeker…..
Local neighbour rang to invite for gentle meander down the Minch.
I had dropped a hint that I might like to try out for crew on his Krill/Prawn gatherer. Boat had been having bottom-scrubbed at Marvaig and was due back at Lemreway asap. Enter Captain Pugwash,your poster!!!
Having never set foot on fishing boat before,I was kindly rowed from the shore-line to a raft where we embarked…me very gingerly!!
Then all set……off on the high seas (well a slight swell) and down a misty grey coast line and turning after a couple of hours into Lemreway after clamber back into row-boat, back onto dry land.
I have video for posterity and attach link for pics…..
