Change of Itinerary - Port Askaig
Looking at the route after talking to various people that know the area I have decided to change the next stopping port from Port Ellen to Port Askaig.
Port Askaig is more sheltered and has a Lifeboat station. I have found it a huge help to be able to talk to the crews… they have an encyclopedic knowledge of their patch and I want to tap into some of that expertise especially as the following leg is going to need careful planning.
Also, my route is now more along the coast rather than directly across open water. My experiences to date are making me less inclined to take the open water route unless it makes sense to do so. I will change future leg routes to take that into account.
I haven’t yet updated the Itinerary page on the web site but I hope to do that prior to departure.
Well Hello Sailor
I’ve been following your blog and the weather isn’t being kind to you is it! I have ordered plenty sun and a nice calm sea for when you come to Peterhead - or ‘The blue toon’ as it’s called - don’t ask me why. I’ll let the locals tell you that. We’ll also have to give you a quick intro to the local dialect………………but that’ll be later
You seem to be doing tremendously well with your collecting bucket. Well done.
Bed sores aren’t the best. A sheepskin rug is one of the best things for them and cosy warm too. Just make sure it’s off the sheep first.

Catch up with you later
