Departs Balvicar Saturday 22nd July for one week. I'll not get as far north but might see you around as you make your way back.

You lucky person you, getting all the best Glasgow Fair weather to yourself.

Be kind to me as a newbie...


Hmm Tobermory Monday.... heading for the Summer isles this year, perhaps.

...via Oransay... Portree...gairloch... Loch ewe.... Loch Broom....Stornoway and back.... three weeks?

I'm planning to be away tomorrow night heading north: Loch Ewe, Summer Isles etc. then an extended spell in Orkney, coming back towards the end of July via the Caley Canal. (The latter part of this plan depends critically on Scotrail choosing to run their sleepers to/from Inverness and Fort Bill so that I can get to meetings in London while the boat's in the canal: as of today they're not prepared to commit themselves, but "might know tomorrow". Grr! )

We're leaving end of July (We'll keep a look out for Avilion on your return journey).

At the moment, we're thinking of Western Isles, Sutherland, maybe along the north coast to Orkney, then return down the west coast, Inner Sound etc.

But who knows? We'd planned to sail to the Scilly Isles last year, but ended up going round Ireland. Took a wrong turning somewhere.

an truish indeed!8)

Donald, you going in July as well?

Be in tobers on Monday 17th July and then see where the wind takes us. We tried to go North last year - but with the wind settled from the N decided to head west.

Give us a shout if you are around!

I seem to remember its your turn for the coffees on Tuesday morning 18th July at 0945. We'll have breakfasted for sure but something fae the McVities tin wid be awfy pleasant..

I can confirm that this is in hand. I saw Sheena bringing fresh coffee aboard for the cafetierre only last week.

Hopefully some of her delicious home baking will be aboard. Either that something nice from the biscuit tin will be provided.


All dependant on a good result of course.

Now - tae get a good result - if ye'd care tae call me on 77 when you are off Salen for example - we could be looking at a race record.....

Did we get anywhere with the race kit?

Ian is going to try and get race kit ti Ardrishaig for you to pick up en route, i think.

77? ....and you like Tobermory chocolate? All noted.
