Musical Arrival

Yesterday we berthed in Oban to a musical accompaniment from the local
High School pipe band. And very good they were too, those girls know
how to twirl their drumsticks. The opportunity to pass round a bucket
for donations wasn't lost on them either as the passengers walked
past, which reminds me of the young piper that used to meet the
Waverley at the Science Centre most days. I noticed one day as the
first past him there was a pound coin already lying in his box as a
kind of suggestion. Anyway it is all voluntary and they gave a fine
splash of colour to the quay side.
