Another bonny sail – with the sun out and a fresh breeze, we were blown back to Tobermory, to a thorough boat clean and a lovely evening out together. Thanks very much from the crew to a brilliant group of volunteers, who were a pleasure to be with and show the Hebrides to. Come back soon!

The 20-hours-of daylight Cruise was brought to you by the following phrases:

- Uh-oh!

- Brilliant!

- Copious steam

- It’s brighter over there…

- Look! Blue Sky!

- Bacon or cheese?

- It’s a bonny day

- It’s a bonny sail

- Is the engine off?

- Is the alternator on?

- No gennie, no toast

- I can’t believe it’s still light at 11:30 pm!

- Thanks, Jackie

- What comes after S in the alphabet? Thanks, milk no sugar please.

- Creel! 500m!

- Throttle back please, Steve

- Uh-oh!
