Lakota is heading home. They left this morning at twenty to eleven. Alan Main is onboard and they are sailing! Yes, they are using the sails, for a change! They managed to get up to 7.2 knots under sail this morning. That is the best speed of the whole trip. No 'wind on the neb' today.
Will load photos later.
Here's a wee song to celebrate. Apologies for the word 'gay'
Westering home and a song in the air
Light in the eye and its goodbye to care
Laughter o' love and a welcoming there
Isle o' my heart my own one
Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay
Speak o' the riches and joys o' Cathay
Aye but its grand to be wakin' each day
To find yourself nearer to Plockton
(Chorus>
Where are the folk like the folk o' the West
Cantie and couthie and kindly the best (cheerful and pleasant)
There I would hie me and there I would rest (hide)
At hame wi' my ain folk in Plockton (home with my own)
More updates as I get them.
Well done lads.
May the wind be in your sails.
