Started off the day with a bit of learning, dad instructed me on how to reverse out from a mooring on a pontoon if it was a tight gap, using a spring line. I followed his instructions and managed it all okay. 
Yesterday I used a wooden brush to scrape off loads of barnacles from under the boat and you could feel it today. A lot less juddering on the tiller and the boat seemed to go through the water a lot easier. We were doing about a knot faster today at the same revs. It was nice and peaceful today coming up the canal towards loch lochy. Just easing it along. 
We are currently anchored up in a sheltered bay at the start of the loch with about 20 metres of chain out. I have been under the boat with a mask and wetsuit and the scraper removing so many more barnacles and muscles. Hopefully tomorrow we can get even faster through the water which will be good. 
Another scorching day.
