Days on Rona are pretty full and today was no exception. I prepared the MV Rona for a day trip with cottage visitors, fibreglassed the Wayfarer and made oatcakes all before 10.30am!! Then went out with the guests on the boat to pick up prawn and crab creels.

We toured about fishing for a while saw the stags on Garbh Eilean, poirpoises and gannets fishing, the sun shone but the rain wasn’t far away. The creels weren’t too productive though, on returning to Big Harbour Kenny and Gemma (www.torridonseatours.com) were alongside with another boat load of visitors from Shieldaig.

There was a yacht in too, Raphy G. As usual they did not pay their landing dues, nothing new and another black mark for the yachting fraternity. How is it they can read a chart but cannot read a notice at the top of the pier telling them (politely) about landing fees!!!!

Not to worry we finished the day with an excellent meal at Escape cottage with our very good ex yachting friends,nice whisky. We took the meal to them on the bike!!
