3rd August, Millport - Inverkip

After John had fried up our breakfast, we took the inflatable dinghy across to the Millport jetty. John hired a bicycle and set off round the island. I enquired in the cycle shop about a new tyre for the Bickerton, it is an unusual size. They had one in stock and were willing to fit it. I returned to the boat and collected the bike. The new tyre was very difficult to fit, but the young lad managed it.
John completed his lap, and did a short lap of honor. After returning the bike, he stood on the jetty & whistled, and I collected him.
We set off in a dead calm, and motored all the way to Inverkip. I didn't even bother pulling up the main sail.
