As much as I am a reformed townie and have jumped into life out here in the Wonderful World of Whiteway, my lack of marine experience can make me stand out like a sore thumb amongst all these experienced seamen. I couldn’t make the A Wake at Last functional without lots of help, and have even been stranded two miles out to sea in her – we had to get a tow from Alf that day. So it was nice to be able to return the favour, by pulling in some people who had been fishing and had their engine break. It felt good to finally be needed and able to help!
