Last day and back to Oban...

Friday, 22nd April - Good Friday - (Catch-up)

A beautiful morning, but it ended up being grey and misty as we headed back. Breakfast was pancakes and strawberries, after porridge of course.

The last leg back to Oban was only one hour, and the crew had lots to do in preparation for docking in the harbour. All the laundry had to be organised and the stores packed up. along with getting the actual boat ready with ropes and stuff. 
Judy, Barry, Ann, Linda, John, John, Mary, Maggie, Lee and Gordon on our last night.
It was a tight fit into the wharf and our crew were being "supervised" by the owner, who was taking the Glen Tarsan out for the next cruise, with his own family and friends, and new supplies and food, and grog and all.
Paul, Dougie, Vicki and Bob.
To our minds he should just have let our crew do what they were doing, but he seemed to want to be giving orders from the wharf. Can't have made Captain Bob's job easy!

After the company van had unloaded supplies for the new cruise, we were dropped around to the place where we'd had the car stored for the week. It was out and ready for us, and we loaded up the car and headed next door to Tesco's to take on our own supplies for Northcliff at Edinburgh. It was to be a long day, and we wanted to be able to arrive and have something we could eat, and then crash into the "new" apartment, and our first full week of self-catering.
