Day 1 - Two hours and counting...

Well I'm nearly away...finally...so much planning, but probably not enough, has gone into this expedition! I'm aiming to be away at around 1.30pm from Vatersay east beach, off to Mingulay. Just doing final packing of my boat now to check it all fits...still got a few other things to do so better go.

I've got the next few days food packed using all locally (Scotland) supplied food: dried pork; bramble jam; home made bread; porridge oats; broth mix; Glen Fiddich whisky; Hebridean Ale; duck eggs. So I'll see what else I can find...

Next time I write will be Wednesday (Day 3), after returning from Mingulay....
