Re: Man arrested after yacht ran aground on shores of Loch Linnhe
It was still there yesterday afternoon when I drove past. It didn't seem to be secured to anything - I wonder if it's floated away yet?

Re: 'Alauda' at Dunstaffnage
Yep, that was Jamie, off on a cruise before heading back to SAMS for the final year of his degree course, while living on Alauda. Alauda currently has no inboard engine - the old Volvo seized and has been removed for refurbishment courtesy of Nick and his JCB at Linnhe. Having said that, Jamie is ha...

No promises (I haven't been afflicted with that adware), but I've found this site to be fairly reliable. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-hr ... ricle-com/

Re: BT
I got a full refund for the time out of service plus an ex-gratia payment for the hassle, via the aforementioned Beverley, so it's worth asking.

Re: AZAB Blog
The blog now has an account of the race to the Azores. I may just be a touch biased, but I think Jamie has written rather well.

Dunno about a suspension bridge (I've not watched it yet but got it recorded) but a lot of it is set in Macduff. Apparently there's a 5 second glimpse of our old RS Feva!

Re: 'Alauda' at Dunstaffnage
Dougie, I'm afraid you won't meet up with Alauda or Jamie next week - Alauda because she's going to be out of the water at Linnhe Marine for up to a year while Jamie is spending the 3rd year of his degree course in Svalbard; and Jamie because he's on a friend's boat sailing to Falmouth and then com...

So far it appears to consist largely of a posh yacht club in Dublin and cream teas in the Isles of Scilly. Well, there's a bit more than that. It can be found here: htt...
