Purchase

- Kenneth M. Kennedy was running a small building business in Dunoon, ten miles from the ship's location, He had been permitted by a landowner to bring sand from the river mouth at the head of the loch, and only needed the transport necessary. He had pondered using the ship to bring sand from Loch Riddon for a while, and now finally had an excuse to do so. He managed to convince family members that it was a viable decision with talk of sailing holidays. With the ship purchased, he informed his two employees, Jack and Rusty, that they had become part-time seamen. Both were very eager at the prospect of this opportunity, asking when they would be putting to sea. Considering the condition Kenneth had bought her in, it would take weeks of engine repair, scraping, and maintenance to be able to put to sea.[1]
