I have been meaning to post this link for some time now but events have taken over. A familiar theme on Rona.

Here we have two very good friends whom we have known since more or less day one of my stay on Rona and thereafter when Lorraine arrived. Eddie Rebbek and Jim McCune. Sadly now Rona would be a destination maybe out of reach as it was a pretty epic trip back in the day, the first stumbling block would have been ‘The Mishnish Hotel’ in Tobermory, owned by the MacLeod family for a long time. Also way back in the day when I went to school in Tobermory with some of the family, 1965.

My Father who was Post Master there then was a guest there courtesay of the Post Office for many months. Before we moved (during the Seaman’s Strike I remember!!!) I am sure he enjoyed it as much as Eddie and Jim have.

It was my Grandchildren looking through my photobooks that prompted me to remember this article in the Press and Journal, our local paper.

Just having hasd a trawl through my photos on the Mac here and having come across a visit from 2013. Happy Days. Sun shining , good company including our other very good friends Laurie and Alasdair of off Yacht Runrig during this visit although, Laurie owned a Maxi 1100 called Yacht Rona. Since sold as is Runrig, new owners, new adventures.

Here is the link to the article, enjoy: Eddie and Jim
