It is Friday and all the yachts have left, thank you to those who supported us with moorings, purchases, showers and everything else we supply. We know you all.

Good to get on with real Rona work to-day but oh my God it is hot, we heard 27 degrees at Fort William, I don’t know what it made here but it was certainly in the twenties.

First job tidying up the pontoon and boat, painting the instructions because people just don’t know.

Then onto sheep, we had escapees last month and with no dog it is not easy , but they were lured back and now we have them all in the field but I must get the escape route closed.

Had a recce down the outrun and found the gap.

I then went to DH to see the guests who are enjoying the best May in 10 years, told them they must leave tomorrow, much disappointment. But they can come back. I don’t think they will ever get a week like this but you never know.

Back to base and found the Famous MacAskills in residence. They had been diving at Dhu Chamas but not much in the way of loot. They had 5 scallops and empty bottles. But I guess the scallop divers that supply ‘hand dived scallops’ to the nations restaurants had beat them to it. Pity there was not a bag for us Islanders!!!!
