A Helping Hand

Yesterday was a poor day for hill walking, so we took an enforced day off and drove to Oban for a look around. We sat in the window of the Oban Bay Hotel and had a delicious lunch. As we looked out we saw these two fishing boats come sailing by, and on closer inspection realised that the red one was being towed. I popped outside in the rain to take a photo!

Weather no better today. I think it's another day of rest ahead. :-(
Great on black. Well spotted and captured

Well noticed. Beautiful foggy scene. A day off will only make you hungry for a new Munro.

Lovely capture and scene. I too would prefer a lovely lunch to walking in the rain. We seem to have the same bleak weather atm 😁

You did well to notice the tow rope! Disappointing weather…..I bet your are frustrated as you’re away from home too. Nice lunch but you went to climb not eat!! 🤣🤣

Sometimes a spot of lunch is also good for the soul - well spotted capture

A leisurely lunch watching the activity on the water is appealing to me. The towing boat looks much smaller than the towed one.

An excellent misty harbour scene. Sorry about the weather - hope it turns soon!

It does look a bit dreary out there. It's nice to hear you had a day of rest for a change

Fun story shot.

@happypat Its very frustrating. So far we've walked 2 days out of 5! We're hopeful for tomorrow, but are running out of time.We had to give up yesterday - the streams were all massively in spate. We crossed one, but were worried about the next one and the fact that we had to get back and the water was still rising. Not worth the risk, so back to the pod we went. We're lucky not to be in a hotel room - the pod is very comfortable, and internet is good - unlike in the one we had to move out of, so that was lucky!
