pictures

At long last we managed to get a photo of a seal. This one was resting on a buoy in the Firth of Forth, there had been two of them but his mate made it back into the water before I could get the camera out.
The boat tied up in Arbroath , where it is staying until this current series of lows blow through, Tuesday perhaps.
We have hired a car for tomorrow and are heading inland to take a look at the highlands and pay homage at Loch Morlich, where Bob had his very first sailing experience and where at the age of seven his life was changed forever!

Today we had a look round Arbroath, especially the famous Abbey, now in ruins.
Back in harbour Scottish Lady arrived after a testing sail from Eyemouth. They are fellow all-rounders who we met up with whilst waiting for weather in Lowestoft. They told us that solo all sailer Mike who is heading for the Western Isle in his Jaguar, Jagged Edge, is only a day behind them (well done that man).so we're hoping to see him again soon.
As far as I know the couple in the cat that we also met in Lowestoft, Carolyn and Richard are in Peterhead as is the other solo sailer Oliver in the eighteen foot Jolly Olly.  http://www.olivers-travels.co.uk/
