Day 1 Tobermory
Day 1, Sunday – For the expedition, it began at 6pm. Light – mid rain. 16 degrees C. We gathered at the HWDT visitor center then walked to the sailboat a little ways down the road. With a welcome from Skipper Peter, we boarded the Silurian with the smell of dinner in the air. Our height determined our sleeping bunk. I’m in the furthest forward section of the boat with Karen from London. The evening was spent with getting acquainted with each other while having tea and cookies and going over the safety & boat particulars, - The top of the lists: To flush the loo -pump the handle twenty times (with the lid closed). The location of the satellite beacon in case we need to send an SOS and the rescue team can find us using GPS. Take the karabiner on your life jacket and attach it to the rope line that runs along the floor topside. This will keep you from falling completely overboard – now that’s a pleasant thought.
