CNG - Sailing By

This is a very quick update tonight. I will try and add to it later. We are all wet and in need of 'bond'!

We are just tying up in Findhorn after a hair raising approach! We tried our luck at half past six but we ran aground so we had to give her a good kick astern to get her off the sandbank and then head back out to deeper water. About half an hour later we tried again and made it in to the pontoon in front of the yacht club. It is miserable and dull but we are glad to be tied up.

Off to cook dinner. More later.

We are heaing to wards Burghead under 'motor sail'! We would have to go too high out to catch enough wind to sail so today we are sightseeing along the Moray coast. It is a lovely day. The sun was hot as we sat on deck this morning. Pity we had to leave Lossiemouth because of noise pollution! The flipping RAF were going round and round in circles making a heck of a racket! Then the guys digging up the roads started. We couldn't stand it! Got all dressed up and we are now enjoying the noise of the engine and the hull on the water - much better.

All clean and sparkling today. The showers and toilets at Lossie are great. Clean and your £1 goes a long way. Pity there was no electricity point to plug in my hair straightners!!! Okay, so maybe I will never be a true sailor but I need my lippy and straightners - nailvarnish is a close second!

By the way, I did tie off the fenders this morning so I am contributing something useful to this trip. Oh, and of course I cooked the breakfast. Brilliant butcher in Lossie. Fresh meat for tea- better than the corned beef hash Don was planning - yeuch!

Little Don hasn't even shaved this trip so he is a proper 'minger'.
