4 Kidneys and a Wonky Leg

With four days to go until we move on, it seemed a little strange to have a lie in and know that there’s no specific reason to get up. However the sun was shining, a bit of a rarity up to now, so we took the opportunity to enjoy it.

We spent a lazy day exploring Inverness once again, lunch at a restuarant called Prime, sitting outside by the River Ness across from Inverness castle. In the afternoon we got down to more serious stuff of restocking the boat with food. A visit to the supermarket and a taxi back to the Marina and the day was gone.

Then around eight in the evening we could hear a helicopter nearby, when I say nearby, I mean just off the end of the marina. Looking out we saw there was a full scale police incident going on, it seemed that just about every policeman in Inverness was here. Sadly it was a search and rescue mission for someone who had jumped from the Kessock Bridge. They searched until dark before leaving, we can only guess at the outcome.

A somber end to the day with the sunset matching the mood.
