Farewell lismore

We are now exiting the top of lismore. The seagulls are singing to us and there is the occasional seal supporting beached on an isolated rock.
This blog post was temporarily suspended while the martins were transferred to rowing duties and we pulled a few hugies to get us into a patch of wind. In some ways we are motor sailing fired by the copham 1 cylinder or the martins 2 cylinder. There are eco engines fired by pasta and, soon, porridge. I am on porridge cooking duties once this post is over. Gary has been on the meths and the burner is now ready for us.
The absolute priority at the moment for us is to row. If the boat speed falls below our chosen minimum we row. We are learning how to motor sail eads innovation works on the copham 1 cylinder. They don't teach you how to do this at sailing school.
The next objective is porridge. After that we look to the corran narrows and the finishing straight to corpach. Martin and i then have ben nevis to think about but we are psyched.
