Ma fine ship is sat strapped tae a pontoon in Fleetwood Marina as I write.
The bullet is bit and hopefully this will see the string of jobs that have been identified getting done.

Whilst it was a grand feeling after work today to nip down and put the kettle on, I'm no sure that she likes being in Fleetwood...

I've only ever been to Fleetwood by tram. How far away is the marina?

The Marina is handy enough, located in the old dock - but its a fair walk from the tram terminus...are you planning a visit?

Is it not about time you changed your location?

I take the boys had an uneventful trip?

My heart is in Kilmelford not fleetwood!

Yes the boys had a great trip. They left Kilmelford at 08:00 on Saturday and were in Port Ellen that day. On Sunday morning they then left for Portpatrick but were monitoring the forecasts and decided that the North Channel was not the place to be so they pressed on for Whitehaven which they got to at around 07:30 Monday.
I think a day on the ale then ensued as well as a bacon buttie eating competion, then a sail down the coast on Tuesday in a good old fashioned Norwester which got them to the River Wyre at around 16:00 - into the dock when it opened later that evening.
All functioning fine although I notice that the Glenlivet seems down on its marks!

With the price of diesel, that should be the last of your worries!
