There was a new company offering boat trips from Miavig on the Isle of Lewis. However, I was sure that it would soon go out of business because it failed to adhere to health and safety requirements. For example, I was expected to cling to the side of the RIB without the use of handles.

We looked on in envy at the party from the guest house, enjoying a picnic on Pabay courtesy of the established boat trip business.
