As a little aside, my mate has a boat which is taken out the water during winter but during the season it is berthed just at the top of the bay at Faslane when he is not actually away sailing in it.
Me and the lad went down one Sat night and had a kip over on the boat there with my mate. Did a bit of fishing, maintenance, eating and drinking. Lovely night , very tranquil.
Mate had been giving me some boating lessons like how to tell if a boat is coming towards you or away in the dark due to the sequence of lights on display.
When it got dark, lad decided he would dig out the green laser pen that he bought in Bulgaria and see how far it could be seen for. He was shining it into the surrounding hillsides (where rumour has it there is storage within) and it was quite amazing to see how clear it was, even though we were probably more than a mile from the hill.
And then my mate came out from under the deck , looked down towards Faslane and uttered the words "remember I was telling you how to determine if a boat was coming towards you or not...."
