After some serious boat washing, tidying, spoodling and an over-active washing machine we started to enjoy the warmest and sunniest day in Scotland so far. Actually it wasn't all enjoyment. the captain's fun little tooth decided that it needed to have the nerve killed off / removed not just a filling. So, plenty of drilling and excavating later, it emerged with a temporary filling in place and an appointment for a proper one in a couple of weeks. Better stay around here then....
We were close to Annie M, the Nordhavn 47 that is up for sale and we tried to help the Nordhavn Europe guys with a few pictures they could use:
Spot the specification differences to ours:
The captain does covet Annie M's nice Rocna anchor (although our delta has always been reliable). Should you buy Annie M and find that the anchor is not as per specification, you now know why.
Having done the hard stuff, we had to enjoy the SUN (yes, not a word used often in Scotland this summer) properly. We dug out the folding chairs which had turned blue with the cold and lack of sun:
Even managed dinner outside for the first time in 2015. Sad isn't it? We wanted to include this picture as we think the chairs will be suffering from claustrophobia for the next 9 months.
Most B and B establishments expect their guests to drive up to the front door. We seem to collect ours - think we have misunderstood how this business works frankly. A train trip to Glasgow Airport to meet another horribly delayed flight (this time Flymaybe) found us meeting Andrew, Linda and their two enormous bags. Scotrail delivered us all back to Inverkip but didn't help with the staggering down the hill to the marina bit.
We escaped Kip and toodled across to Holy Loch, a huge sea voyage, for the evening. Very civilised.
