First chance to log on for a while - in an internet cafe in Kirkwall.
Next time I log on I expect to see a few more threads started here - Silkie and Shard, go and drag some others over here and get them posting . . .
Looking forward to reading about the Rathlin trip when it isn't costing me 10p a minute . . .
(Broadband should be happening on Seil when we get back - it had better - even Westray is getting it . . .)

Hi Nick - pleased to hear you made Kirkwall, although I hear from you elsewhere that it's peeing down. Well, as usual, the west coats is basking in sunshine, pleasantly warm with the mildly cooling effect of a F3/4.
Regards
Donald
Not another multiple posting . . .

Just been given a mini-tour of Kirkwall and surroundings by Geordie (orion21) who also very kindly took me to get gas and diesel. Had a look at his boat as well - a very nice Trapper 300.
Blog is now (almost) up to date - as far as reaching here anyway - see it

Probably off to Shapinsay tomorrow - a terrifying death defying trip of some three miles . . . then Stronsay and Sanday, maybe North Ronaldsay and back to Pierrowall for the Westray Regatta next weekend.
Watch this space . . .
Summer, what Summer? . . .

Bailed out of Orkney - too cold.
Now in Lochinver, heading for the Summer Isles.

Aye, but they're reading it more (I think)

We're all too busy catching up on Fairwinds' blog.
Sorry to hear you had to abandon plans for Shetland but I'm sure it was the right decision. "We sail for pleasure!" - Peter Pye - as I'm fond of quoting.
