currently under tow by mallaig lifeboat a couple miles south of rhum. narrowly avoided going ashore on rhum In sw 8-9 during flood tide early afternoon. Anglian prince due about 1830hrs.  Yet another reminder of why we need the tugboats. Have to hand it to the mallaig crew, must be very nasty out there today.
