Nice gap coming up?

July 2nd, 2008, 11:11:31 am

by Paul Churchley

I have been watching the gap in the weather that is forecast for Thursday/Friday with disbelief but I am hopeful now, just 2 days ahead, that it will actually happen and so I have decided to return to the boat from my wonderful break and continue onwards with the section that I have been most looking forward to since the start… the Scottish Islands up to Fort William and the Caledonian Canal!

So, I am packing up and catching the flight tomorrow lunchtime from Exeter to Belfast City and if all goes to plan I will be back on the boat mid-afternoon. It looks like high water is about 1pm so I will probably be leaving about midday on Friday if the weather works out.

This break has been a real opportunity to recharge and to reassess where I am with the trip and I am returning with renewed vigor and enthusiasm. I am hoping that I will do the remaining legs without the need for further breaks… let’s hope so.

I will post again when on the boat tomorrow and I have had a chance to look in detail at the weather and tides.
