Heading East

The holiday is booked. In 16 days time, Annie and I will be boarding a plane bound for the sunny beaches of Bulgaria. Seven days and nights of beach life is a nice way to unwind between jobs and heading back to student life. Beer is 37p a pint.

This past Sunday a few of us decided to head to Skye in Sandy's boat. Great idea... except halfway there we started taking on water, and lots of it. We nursed the boat into the beach, which was beautiful, and assessed our options. What was supposed to be a day trip turned into an over-nighter and pub session in Carbost (home of Talisker Whiskey). With the next day off work, we headed to Talisker Bay for more relaxing on the beach. This was mainly for Sandy's benefit as it was his boat that was toast. A bit more expensive than planned, as we needed to hire a rib to take us back to Rum, but these random events usually turn out to be worth it.

Now I can say I've been shipwrecked on an island.
