- Profile: Came to Ardfern in 1979. For 15 years took people on sailing holidays, cruising under sail among our beautiful islands. Wrote articles for the yachting mags., computer programs for the old Amstrad PCW, joined HM Coastguard in Oban - redundant when it closed. Now make fine furniture and cabinets when I'm not exploring the waters and nooks and crannies of the Isles of Nether Lorne aboard my small RIB. Do a lot of other things too.
