Unfortunately the Met Office got something right for once and the strong westerly they predicted has arrived. No chance of making any progress paddling against a force 5 so we're in the tent for the day.
But all is not lost - We've used the time wisely, to brush up on our porridge cookery and needlecraft!
The wind is meant to be swinging all over the place for the next day or so, hopefully including a south-easterly we could do with, so we should be able to make progress again tomorrow.

Conno,
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to use Google Maps.Last report Monday afternoon @ 17.15, from a mobile phone in the canoe just off Nairn.
Heading W in very smooth sea conditions towards Whiteness Head. Google Earth will show the disused oil rig yard on the shores of the inlet inside the spit.
Next comes passing through the firing range at Fort George, about 3 miles SW from Whiteness.
Okay will do :p
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it all
