Where are you moving the boat from? Give me a shout if you're to be in Peterheid at any time.marisca wrote:I do hope so! Moving boat round to Port Edgar by the end of Sept so a week of S going through W to a week of N all about F3/4 with sunshine would do me fine.

Just arrived in Stavanger about 12.00 (local). Within an hour, the wind has picked up considerably - small trees are bowed, white caps everywhere etc.

Re: Indian Summer
The kyles are prettier by far. (have you got shares in Portavoided Ian?)
didn't happen anyway - went for a buzz in the bay instead. Found a magnetic anomally just NW of Lady Isle.
By the time they were 5 mins down the road home, we were on the way to Kings cross... Now that WAS MAGIC.
The starry starry night on Saturday was as good as I've seen for years.
Had to get back for a bowls match today, but we're off again ASAP and will make our way towards S'butt for Friday.
