Hell & High Water
In 2013 I agreed to go up to Scotland for 10 days to skipper the support boat for Sean Conway's swim from Lands End to John O'Groats. 10 days turned into 2 months and many memorable moments. I speak to Owain who was my first mate, the publicity man and the photographer for the trip, who having visited the Isle of Eigg ended up moving there after the adventure. We recall some of the hairiest moments and the kindness of people along the way.
