A day in Peterhead
Today has been good. I decided to get a bit of exercise and walk into peterhead town centre this morning. It isn’t really that far but when you are on the boat all the time just a walk into town can be good for the legs. I had an excellent coffe and a cake in a coffee shop before going in to a keycutting place to try to get a spare key for the boat door. I have just one key and for the entire trip I have been concerned that if I lost it then I wouldn’t get back into the boat. He thought he did but I had to return to the boat to try it and then return to pay and get a second spare cut.
So a walk back to the boat for a 2pm appointment with a photographer from the Aberdeen press and Journal local newspaper and an interview by phone. That done it was then back to the keycutting shop to confirm that the key worked. He wouldn’t accept any money as I was doing the trip for charity… wonderful fellow.
This evening was fun too. Firsly Alf (Divemaster1 from ybw forum) was doing a bit of barnacle removal on his boat and when he had finished he showed me round his boat. Later I met up with Jack Daly. He is taking a Corribee 21 round Britain for Sailability. He is going the other way round so we share info on the places we had been to already. Good luck to Jack.
The wind is picking up here in advance of the weather coming in tonight. I am hoping it clears tomorrow but I am not that optomistic it will.
Tomorrow I am collecting at Asda just outside Peterhead. I will be there 10 to 4 (or when my legs give out!). If you get a chance please drop by and say hi.
