A luxury motorboat lost at sea for a year before being washed ashore was relaunched on Friday after being restored to its former glory.
The £50,000 vessel was missing, presumed sunk, after being swept overboard from a freight ship transporting it from a Danish shipyard to a customer in Greenland in 2019.
Shepherdess Rhoda Munro found it wrecked in 2020, near her home on Mull.
And the 46-year-old was eventually told she could keep it by the Receiver of Wrecks government agency because it had been missing for so long and insurers had paid the owner.
Along with her brother Dave, Rhoda has spent three years transforming the 25ft boat into a gleaming dream machine.
She said: “It’s a beautiful boat, it’s really amazing and it is so special to me because of its story.
“We toasted it with a dram of Macallan sherry oak cask whisky for the relaunch at 7.30am on Friday, with the sun behind the boat.”
Rhoda initially thought her find only needed a little TLC to get it shipshape but it has taken years to firstly gain ownership and then fix it to relaunch standard.
The 12-passenger vessel has now had its first proper run to the isle of Gometra.
Rhona initially found it upside down on the Mull shoreline, filthy and with a large hole in the hull.
Mull fisherman Dave, 44, said: “It has been a restoration project in our spare time and it has come up better than expected. It’s now in usable condition.
"I’ve left a few scratches and dents for when I tell people the story.”
