点评:Having planned to enter the Scottish Islands Peaks Race some months earlier, my fifth, the one missing piece was a boat. Enter Jock Hamilton with Yemaya and what a find! She's a thing of extraordinary beauty, built in the 1980's and mahogany throughout. So wide and comfortable, as runners we were in luxury, and had the pleasure of sailing her a bit too. She served us well on the water, making up with her speed for our sluggish mountaineering to catch both tidal gates at Luing and Kintyre.
Jock knew her and the seas so well we were always in good hands and excellent humour. Not least because of the meals Jock had prepared for us to feast on after our island legs: venison pie, haggis wi' champit neeps an' tatties, and at the finish a huge lasagne for 12 between the 5 of us.
What more can I say? My best ever SIPR and the Old Dogs award for oldest crew to finish the race.

乔克非常了解她和大海,我们总是得到很好的照顾和极好的幽默感。尤其是因为 Jock 为我们准备的餐点让我们在岛上的行程结束后大饱眼福:鹿肉馅饼、羊杂碎羊杂碎和奶酪,最后是我们 5 个人 12 人份的大千层面。
我还能说什么呢?我有史以来最好的 SIPR 和 Old Dogs 奖,奖励最老的船员完成比赛。
