Week 6 - Thursday - Inverness

In the marina in Inverness today - about to set off for Lossiemouth.

There is bad weather coming, so we are keen to make some progress before it arrives.

Jim went home yesterday and Frostie turned up last night on the train from
Berwick.

Jim and I have recovered from our Loch Ness incident and are no longer on the Inverness police most wanted list!

I also met a friend last night (Tim Smith) who was celebrating with his pals, the completion of their Lands End to John O'Groats bike ride.

Like us, they had had a tough time battling against Northerly winds for most of the way.

Two locks for Frostie to test his rope throwing skills in, then off up the Moray Firth.

  1. Good to hear we're off the list!! Just to add to Vanessa and Abigails 'Do's and Don'ts ' from the first day, especially for Frostie as he has just joined. Always remember to ask the Captain every hour, on the hour, if he needs feeding and watering! What an appetite!!!

    Good luck for the rest of the trip.

    PS. Nice T-shirt. If any of the crew (past and present) want one give Ray a call at New Era Garments. 01745 340164. Tour dates on the back!

    1. Do they do the T shirts in any other colours ? (Are they Mozzie and Water proof?)

  2. I LOL'd at the Nessie photos. On Facebook I would have "liked" it. Glad that the toilet seat was only used for this rather than in anger.
