DAILY REPORTS
Select from the following diary entries from our budding adventurers:
June 24th 2008
Amazing day continuing down the Crinan canal. Swapping being on the boat with the lines and being on the land to operate the locks. Good fun - with sunny weather; actually feeling warm for once. Out of the canal motor sailing past Jura, Scarba, Luing, Lunga, Kerrea and Oben evetually onto a pontoon at Tobermory on the island of Mull. Fabulous scenery
Roz
June 25th 2008
Escaped from rainy Troon after crew change over and clean clothes, bath and lots shopping. New crew John (from Somerset) and Allan from Canada (but sounding terribly Scottish and arrived without any luggage. BA eventualy found it in Heathrow terminal 5.)
Early start to avoid increasing winds "later" gave wonderful beat in 15-20kn wind and some sun! Then into the Crinan canal after lunch. Spectacular scenery and no wind. Finally had to find a T shirt and shorts. we did 5 locks and 2 bridges before stopping by a hotel/bar and had beer in sunshine, followed by chicken stuffed with black pubbing and whisky sauce!

June 26th 2008
Got up nice and early at 4am and left Tobermorey at 5am heading for Plockton. Spectacular views on the way as we passed the islands of Rhum, Eigg and Muck. We went up the Sound of Sleat and the Kyle Rhea which are thin channels where the mountains come straight down to the sea with a few remote houses. We then went under the Skye bridge and right up til the last minute it looked like we were going to snap off the top of the mast. The weather deteriorated as we came into Plockton and picked up a mooring bouy. Later on the wind eased and we rowed ashore and looked around the lovely little village.
Josh
June 27th 2008
Rainy saturday in stornaway. A swim, saunna, jacuzzi in the excellent sports centre. Internet at the library, a craft fair, a pub lunch or fish and chips,a walk around Lewis castle.
After all that fun it was time for curry diner and set off for the Orkneys. A run in SW force 5-6 for 100 miles around Cape Wrath. Name is Norse for "farewell point" not a comment on its fearsome tides and winds. We slipped past 5 miles off and were happy to say farewell.

June 28th 2008
It may be best NOT to eat chicken curry before a rough night on watch. Even so the sail was exhilorating; surfing down the waves reaching 9-10 knots at times. We saw pale skinned dolphins as the dawn broke. The old man of Hoy to starboard and through Hoy sound to Stromness in Orkney. We are here.
Roz
June 29th 2008
Roz, John and I (Josh) set off to cycle 30 miles around the Orkney mainland island. Saw all the sights on the way.
The standing stones, Scara Brae(an ancient underground village) beaches and lots of old half ruined crofts. Got back with aching bums and found that Phil and Allan had managed to do pretty much the same trip as us on a comfy bus- and for less money!! At least we got the sun.
