Now this is a near concidence. Today (Saturday) Rob Boden and I were with the movie Swallow at Ullswater until about 1 p.m. and then took her to Coniston, where we and another Ransome enthusiast launched her - at Brown Howe - and sailed to Wildcat Island. I say sailed but there was nearly no wind so it was really purposeful drifting, mostly. This was Swallow's first return to Peel Island since 1974 and there are many pictures. We returned (rowing) to Brown Howe and were together and ready to leave almost exactly at 5 p.m. so we must have JUST missed Tony by less than 5 minutes if he took his last picture at 5 p.m.
