ANOTHER 6am alarm to try and get some more miles in on the paddleboard for the Scottish Mountain Rescue Miles Challenge before the winds pick up.

Once again, the predicted calm isn’t calm…but it’s not as bad as it was yesterday and I manage three islands stops before heading back to the bay. Just ten miles to go. Windy for the next three days but hopefully Saturday and Sunday will be calmer. We’ll see…

After a shower and the second instalment of breakfast I go to the office and continue the fridge magnet production run for the shop. Seventy in total of six designs.

I’m getting on pretty good and when the delivery folks drop of the magnets for the back, plastic pouches for packaging and a batch of business cars (I ran out and I use them in the package) I get busy finishing off the order. I get it all to the shop before 6pm. Phew.
