Homeward Bound

JB, Claire & Sooty

After our last sail of the season from Rothesay we are now in Ardrosson over two weeks earlier than our intended arrival here. The weather has won and we go home tomorrow (Wednesday) on the train. I will be back again with Bob R on the 16th to lift Coralie out for the winter. There is still a list of jobs to do but less than previous years but as I have said many times you don’t have a boat to save money. There was a break in the weather on Monday when we arrived and we managed to dry the sails out by just letting them hang in the wind before taking them down. Below decks now looks a little overcrowded with the two sails down below but they are dry and will be going to the sailmaker in Poole in September to be inspected and stored ready for next year. I have yet to find out why starlings are attracted to boat masts. They certainly are as you will see in the video. It’s a lovely sight but the mess they leave behind on the deck isn’t!! Till next year then🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☔️🌞⛵️⚓️
