Re: Sailing the Northwest Passage 2023: A Family's Adventure into the Arctic
The book of that story is out and is excellent read,
Thicker than ice by john pennington. Very highly reccomended.
Its his second book, following Orca, the story of their circumnavigation.

Re: Free BlueMoment Burgee?
If no one else wants it Mark, and you still have it, I’ll take it please.
I dont usually fly these things, and certainly not my sailing club one, but I’d fly that one as this is the only place where I never seem to see any politics and infighting.
Thanks.

Travels with Selkie
Most years I have a week or so on my mates Twister out of Ballahulish. Having just reached the giddy heights of semi retirement, I got round last month to editing the pictures I take. Here's a wee selection.

Re: The Peat Dead and The Dead of Jura, Allan Martin
Yeah, the current politics line is interesting
I enjoyed them, tho I think the first was the best.
Recently read the shetland sailing mysteries set, and enjoyed them, tho no wonder that lass got the evil eye in one of the later books, shes a magnet for corpses
