More adventures by
boat today. After our hirer kitted us up; we boarded but couldn't get the
engine going; which was most mysterious as it was the same boat that our hirer
arrived on. Not a good omen. After captain Biggles had pulled the start cord a
few times and me ducking to avoid his elbows; we headed off into the water. Moments
later; coxswain Maz reported that our landing rope had disappeared off the
side. We circled the loch to try and spot it; but to no avail. The only thing
that we could do was to return to harbour and ask for another line. Our hirer
was just seating a very patient couple into their boat as we returned and
docked; then when we told him what the problem was he just simply reached into
the water and pulled out a length of rope hanging from the side! Maz was so
embarrassed.
