Humph! Once we have managed to sneak back through Cuan under cover of darkness I will of course have access to Photoshop and will add suitably convincing pictures of Fairwinds in the fjords etc to the current textual offering, thus dispelling these scurrilous sugestions that the ship should be renamed Balvicar Proton . . .

Good to see you back. Makes our little trip across the Irish Sea to Waterford seem a bit like small coal.

Bet you didn't catch a dolphin with your cruising chute, though.

Waterford is a wonderful place, and it's a fair stretch from Wales. Got any piccies of the trawling incident?

We've been on holiday so I've only just managed to catch up with the blog. It makes great reading and it sounds as Fairwinds and crew have had a great adventure. There must be a business opportunity to sell Nick some vented loops - or a bilge level alarm!! :wink:

Looking forward to the next instalment.
