This morning the rumbling of the Glen Rosa’s generator didn’t wake us until 7.45am. The first thing we did was look out of the porthole where we could actually see patches of blue in the sky! Was the weather going to turn in our favour at last? 🙂 After Trevor and I danced our usual…
Got up around 7.30pm and went up to the saloon to join the others for breakfast. The sky and sea still looked turbulent and the weather hadn’t decided what it was going to do yet, but at least it was dry (for the moment!) 🙂 After a light breakfast of cornflakes, toast and marmalade, washed…
Hanging aroundNothing to do but frownRainy days and MondaysAlways get me down. The Carpenters Woke up this morning a little later; it was 6.52am when the Glen Rosa‘s generator rumbled into life. After lying in our double bunk a little longer, listening to the inevitable rain pattering down outside, we got up and went up…

You shall have a fishyOn a little dishyYou shall have a fishyWhen the boat comes in. Traditional folk song Woke up at 7.30am after a comfortable night’s sleep in the Lancaster Hotel in Oban, and were pleased to see sunshine and wispy white clouds drifting lazily across a blue sky. As the weather forecast for…
Woke up at 8.00am and looked out of the window at a restless and choppy Irish Sea. There was no sign of any land in sight, and my phone was still on the ‘Telenor Maritime’ network. At least there was no rush; we didn’t have to be out of the cabin until eleven o’clock. After…
Well, this blog entry probably won’t be of any interest to anybody, as we just spent the day with my cousins in Belfast. So please therefore feel free to skip this entry. 🙂 My mother was from Belfast and my two cousins, Alan and his wife Margaret, and Brenda and her husband Adam, still live…
We were up at 6.30 this morning, and we looked out of our window to see that Ambition was at anchor off the pretty little town of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull. We had never been here before and were so looked forward to exploring. What I found quite interesting and amusing was people’s…
A combination of late nights, too many cocktails (or quite possibly both) meant I didn’t get out of my pit until 8.40am. Even then, I didn’t go up to breakfast, I just had a cup of coffee in the cabin while getting ready, and Trevor brought me back a muffin and an orange from the…
As our meeting time for our scenic excursion this morning wasn’t until 9.15am, we got up at eight and looked out of the window, to find ourselves docked in picturesque Tórshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands. We had been here twice before, in 2006 and in 2016, but it’s such a lovely place, all green…
