A lot has happened since last week. Benj returned to England to be with Cath for her hospital appointment, which confirmed that she has breast cancer, and a date was set for surgery on 7th August. Cath bravely decided she would rather spned the next two weeks sailing than sitting at home fretting, so we returned to Oban and were joined by David and Mark Clough, brought up there by John, Jill and Mark. We enjoyed an evening aboard and prepared for the sail to Islay the next day.
