The gun from the Nevada has been moved. Since it was raised from the sea it has lived at the hotel waiting to be smartened up. A lady on a mission managed to organise a concrete plinth, the very nice water borehole boys came over and sand-blasted it and it was painted straight away to stop the rust re-appearing. Finally the bronze was polished up and it was moved so it now points out over the bay, just up from the ferry terminal. The first thing that strikes me is how small it is. It was the only weaponry on the Nevada. I鈥檝e been round Nelson鈥檚 ship The Victory, and it had cannons everywhere; in a shoot-out with The Nevada my money would be on The Victory. Rumour has it The Nevada crashed into Coll because the Captain didn鈥檛 fancy another trip across the Atlantic in 1942. I can鈥檛 say I blame him. A lot of the cargo found its way to the locals including a lot of cigarettes. The site of the wreck is a favourite spot for fishing, and the large concrete bases show where the machinery for officially removing the cargo were.

Thank God it鈥檚 raining and I don鈥檛 have to be outside being busy. It鈥檚 been so long since I was playing on the machine my other half has changed the desktop wallpaper, I鈥檓 not good with change unless I know it鈥檚 happening. He鈥檚 put up a picture of the dog in the sea as the sun sinks down in the north west. I think it was the last time he saw me properly, we went for a romantic walk along Cliad after I finished work to watch the sunset. We awarded it 5 points out of 10, there were no clouds so the colours weren鈥檛 good.
The island is slowly filling up with summer visitors, the road is deteriorating again, the half marathon has been cancelled this year because of the road. The next event is the Raft Race and Garden Party on July 8th. This is raising money for the church鈥檚 centenary year. I鈥檓 looking for real ale for the bar, any suggestions?

That's the beer ordered for the raft race in a fortnight. If everything goes according to plan we will have two beers from The Oyster brewery on Seil Island and two from Tobermory on Mull. Definitely an island beer bash this time. I hope everyone appreciates the sacrifice I've made by not ordering Nimbus from Atlas again (my favourite beer so far). We just have to arrange some better weather this year. At least I'll get to drive on some better roads.

On the road front they seem to be passing the buck in the Oban Times. There must be something wrong with a system which pays people to manage tax payers money to keep Argyll running, and then those people stick their heads in the sand and pretend the problem isn't there. It will be impossible to work out how much the road has cost locals in vehicle damage, and extra fuel, or how many visitors have only explored half of Coll because they refused to risk their cars on the potholes. At least our councillor, Ian Gillies, has done his job in hassling the council. He lives on Tiree, but came over to see for himself the damage, and is very helpful by email. I know there are plans to combine Coll and Tiree with Mull. I wonder if our representative (who would almost certainly live on Mull) would have fought our corner so well then.
