Every two weeks or so we hold a man overboard drill which requires us to launch the ship's FRC (Fast Rescue Craft) to carry out an exercise in recovering a man in the water. Today was very suitable with a gentle wind and little sea, well I guess it was suitable as long as we only have people over the side in good weather. Anyway we launched the boat just after leaving Craignure and it zooms away at 27 knots to await our arrival in Oban. Here's a picture of it being recovered once we were alongside.
We are now on the reduced timetable so our last trip of the day was the arrival in Oban in 18:00. As it was so lovely I went for a walk up the hill to McCaigs Tower that overlooks the Bay.
