Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hunt's Yachting Magazine, 1864, Vol. 13 The first thing to be done after having furled the sails was to appeal to Bob's feelings on the score of dinner, the next to proceed before dark in quest of a blacksmith who would repair our damages in such good time the following morning as to enable us, weather permitting, to make an early start; having managed both these im portant matters to our satisfaction, we turned in and could afford to listen with indifference, while in such excellent quarters, to the wind as it whistled and moaned through our rigging. The next morning it blew great guns from the North, so after congratulating ourselves upon being in such anchorage instead of kicking wildly about at see. We made up our minds to remain contented where We were and to take a look at Campbeltown and its neighbourhood. On our way to the shore we paid a visit to a yacht much the same size as the E at anchor near us, and ascertained that she also was bound South, but owing to the late strong winds had been detained at her present anchorage since Friday.
