they are a diversion from the normal routine. This morning a poor
yachtsman found himself on Lady's Rock being buffeted by a strong ebb
tide. Not clear how he managed it, there was little wind, we'll be
generous and assume that it was his engine that failed at a critical
time. Lady's Rock is at the South end of Lismore Island and we pass
14 or so times a day, as I have posted in the past you have to be wary
of the tides around here otherwise you could easily end up on the
beach. The Oban lifeboat was out there in double quick time and
hauled him off before the tide went out too far, so hopefully not too
much damage.
