    To sail the stormy sea

    When I was a young fellow, in the military, I spent a few years on an island called St Kilda, about 40miles off the western Isles.

    now I want to go back.

    Are there any Scots sailing blokes, preferably drunken musicians, who might be able to offer advice or assistance ?

    I know a bunch of local guys who sail there once a year, chip in for expenses.

    Some stay on the boat the rest camp on the island for a few days. Never managed to make the gig cos of work but I can hook you up.

            what is there to do on St Kilda for a couple of years?
            How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

              Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                No disrespect to anyone but I would want to be ultra sure that the skipper was highly competent and reasonably risk averse. Not a place to come unstuck in from what I've heard.

                    Glasgow actually, where they all lived happily ever after.

                    One of them was asked, a few years later if they would like to go back , just out of nostalgia.
                    He most definately did not, it's a nice place to visit, but a horrible existance if you live there.
