Le Grand Depart, Day 1, Oban

My spur-of-the-moment travel buddy and I have arrived in Oban. We have no battery charge left on my mobile phone and no way of contacting those I am due to meet, and several hours to kill. and I'm tired, exceptionally tired.

A brief walk around Oban (doesn't take long), watching the start of a round island kayak race, some objectionable fish and chips and I find out where the boat I need to meet will be. All I need now is for time to fly a bit so we can load up and go, and I can sleep.

Find some of my party, then the rest arrive and we load up (always fractious) and head down to my bunk for some much needed shut eye. Heading to Tobermory tonight.
