By Tuesday we realised we weren't getting off the island. Food was an issue. Things were tense. Duncan was becoming less sure about me using him as a 'Roderick the Imposter/Red Ruairi' body double for the videos. He started taking photographs of me in compromising positions as some kind of insurance.
However... there were mushrooms aplenty and a sea full of fish. Duncan had brought a fishing rod, which was handy for the Ruairi character, but doubled as an actual fishing rod - that caught a fish on every cast! I made him a lure as a peace offering. He didn't use it.
Although mushrooms and pollock wouldn't be my first choice on the menu, the Chianti helped, and we had packed a disproportionate amount of that in our water-and-mouse-proof case.
The building near the pier beside the gun is the feather store. Fulmar and gannet feathers were paid to the factor as rent.
