Ian says it best in his own words:
"We had about 80 onlookers, from our various social circles and some who were there anyway, and a friend who played the good old tunes on his Scottish small-pipes, including the Skye Boat Song ("Speed, bonnie boat") as she was launched. Launching involved a miniature of best Scotch. Then we had a brief "sea-trial" on the harbour, while some friends ran a sausage sizzle for the onlookers, which was appreciated on the rather grey day."
