Sunday, July 31

Doing 7 knots off the West Coast...

....of Scotland, that is.

Typing on the Blackberry from the deck of a wooden boat called Tara cruising off Oban in the West Highlands, having driven up this morning from Edinburgh.

If you have never been to Scotland, then it is tough to describe quite how breathtakingly beautiful it can be on a sunny day (like today, thankfully!). The cross country drive past mountains and lochs, then out on the water, with stunning views in all directions.

Just taking the boys out for a wee cruise on the grandparents boat, then to sleep on the boat at its berth back in the marina, which is a big adventure for them.

There is a big party at the pub at the marina tonight, with, surreally enough, a Cuban dance band playing.

Just a mellow Sunday enjoying the simple pleasures...whoops, nearly got salt spray on the keyboard, better sign off !
