Our final island
assault of the day was to be on Kilburk Castle; which was not necessarily on an
island but a causeway nevertheless. However; when we arrived the jetty had a
fishing rod hanging off it; and as we approached the end of the jetty seemed to
be fenced off from the castle. As there were five of us in the boat; our
coxswain struggled to see in front of us or hear the shouts of the fishermen;
and we soon found ourselves tangled in rod line. After a lovely exchange of
banter; we decided to do a fly-by before heading back; however our good
Scottish friends seemed to change their mind and let us land. At first we
thought it might be a trap in order to confront us; but after we landed they
apologised for their behaviour and were actually quite friendly. We had a very
nice walk exploring the castle; and kept an eye out on the boat but they were
good to their word. I even got the chance to steer the boat on our way back; which
was something I'd never done before.
