    Hugh wasn't really a day for a pleasure cruise on the Forth yesterday either but promised my mate Derek who used to fish out of Carradale on Aquila a sail so we thought bugger it we'll go out anyway.  But your right another fine Scottish summers day its either pissing down or blowing a hoolie.  Could have done with another 20ft length on the way back a bit bouncy but better than sitting watching the telly.

    We'll need to get you out on the Forth sometime soon.

    Cheers BigAlan

    Hi Hugh

    Full sympathy on weather front, just back from a week in Fort William, some serious rain and wind, did miss the East coast continuous session start of last week but still some serious weather around. All the best and catch you soon

    Boys ... Twas a fine day in Inverness, even if it was howling a bit
    Finally got to dressing off Sequoiah's coachroof tops ... decent paint job even if I say so mesel
    also stripped starboard side of coachroof back, sanded and oiled and its looking not bad ... so one side of the coachroof is white ... the other oiled!
    Will do the other side in the Spring, most likely as it was done a few months back. Stbd side oiled because I had to knock loose paint off to do a decent job. Then I discovered that it would sand and oil up well
