That looks like a good day out. I am hoping to get to a similar event in the N.E. tomorrow but by car as I'll be taking my Ma and the dog.

Well I didn't spot you in Portsoy today and I guess the reason is that there was Feck all parking for disabled and as my Ma couldn't manage 200 m let alone 2 mile I left which was a real shame as apart from the drive there (60 miles) it was packed out and lovelly sunshine. I may go back on the bike tomorrow

Some foaties from today at Crinan

This is Edward Health's old boat 'Morning Cloud' I guess the bloke who bought it wasn't a Tory?

Pilot Cutter - lovely.

Crinan coffee shop- and some nice boats

The bay.

The VIC 32 steaming out the bay, too busy yapping to get some close up shots of VIC 32 which is still steam powered( 'Victory Inshore Craft 32' built during the war to service ships anchored off the Tail of the Bank)

This is what she looks like - she's also got a steam powered record player in the saloon...

Cracking photos Wully,

Noticed Admiral Gent-white is not there!!!!

Having spent last weekend with the soap and polish sooooo glad I haven't got a wooden boat.

My friend has just bought a pilot cutter called IRIS he will be sailing north over the next few weeks.

Finished too late to go to Portsoy.

Feck having a wooden boat Lovely to look at though.

My lump of plastic is hard work enough - spent all day fannying about with various bits and pieces in the sun.

The result is that I now know that my brand new alternator is farkedand my control panel is terminal

AND... until both are fixed I can't keep my beer cold

However the sails are on so I can move.

Aye- and that prick Alan Gent White has been nowhere to be seen.

We've goat a fridge in the boat

Works a treat and keeps the beer cold

Disnae use much power

Luckily, since the feckin alternator is knackered

£180 lighter tonight- but it's worth it for cold beer

Bob,

Normally in the UK this would work but as ,we on the west coast, are basking in the warm waters of the gulf stream hanging bottles over the side would only warm the contents.
