Hello Shipmates,

Sober enough to come on deck and watch the Moonrise over the tops of the hills, it's still nearly a full-moon.

Watch it sparkle and dance on the sea.

Hear the otters call to each other.

Watch the bats swoop on the insects.

Listen to the call of the stag on the hill as it echoes down the glen.

The hoot of the Tawny Owl as it prepares to hunt.

Then of course it will become silent and still.

It's then that you look to the stars and wonder at our great universe.

Welcome to my Tir-nan-Og. Stay as long as you like.

A generous sprinkling of Fairy Dust to you all.

Anchors Aweigh at 07.00

RITAAAAAAAAAAA

Oh girls I have just cracked up at the escapades.

Thank you for the beautiful description Stephen, really makes me want to come back to Scotland again. Just the weather, when we went 30+ YEARS AGO WE HAD 2 WEEKS OF RAIN AND HAD TO ABANDON THE mULL OF kYNTYRE AS IT WAS SO FOGGY WE COULDN'T SEE WHERE WE WERE GOING AND THAT WAS IN aUGUST(oops sorry caps locked on)

Oh well hubby still out he's having his dinner at his brothers. Can't really be bothered myself.
Just off the phone from our friends in Worthing she unfortunately lost her Mum last Friday, aged 90 years. Had been unwell but wanted to go at home. She did so all is at peace in her world.

Going to try some research

Linda :o) XxX

LOL MO.

Now listen to this ....I have been learning the lingo of the Scott's

Skinny Malinky longlegs

Speak O' the devil.

Dinnae teachyer Granny tae to suck eggs.

Its a drerchday...

Stephen......hows that ????????

Maz, no SHE has not got a kilt. But when they marry she want's everyone to wear one.
I can just see Roly, with his short hairy legs, wearing a kilt. I won't know where his legs stop,and his sporran starts.

Pauline........ Stephen would fall over board if he saw me with out me hammocks !!

Mo ....Is he really a true Scott like our Stephen ....I mean has he got a kilt and all the regalia .? LOL

I have just seen that Josie went Maz. I think that Nadia's comments about JJ had a lot to do with it.
Oh and excuse me Maz,don't forget that my son's fiance is Scottish, and I understand her fine.
Just do hand signals for Shelly and me, and we will understand perfectly well.
No no no, not the two finger gestures purleeze, we is ladies dontcha know.

It's OK Mo, I got the bra off his eyes before we hit the rocks.

Please Marilyn - put it back on, how do you expect him to sail straight if you keep walking around like that.

LOL.. Stephen......My bra is big enough so everyone would have seen ME !!

I enjoyed the scenic route that we sailed, but took me ages to get these girls sober.....Oh they do love a drink ..

Shelly got problems understanding the Scottish Dialect because she is after all dyslectic ......so Stephen can you talk English ????? in your next venture ...
maybe with a London accent might be easier for her and Mo come to
that .LOL.

Mo I am watching BB but Josie has walked so I hear. I knew she would ,as that that lot are all wannabe' s again. but still watching ..

Marilyn put that bra back on, stop waving it around like that.
WATCH out Stephen, oops there it goes, cripes Pauline quick get it off of Stephens eyes, we will be in the brink in a minute.

Ahoy skipper, can you steady it up a bit? We've got knitting needles flying around down here and Rita's tablets are all over the floor.

Mind you, the sway could have been caused by the fact that Marilyn took her bra off and started swinging it around.

Poor Mo has gone green now, oh no it's not seasickness, it's that green paint Shelly got to paint the snails.

Oh my god,I thought I was dreaming this. It is really real after all. I bet that Marilyn spiked my drink, she's like that don't ya know.
Sorry Stephen. I wish Shelly would budge up a bit, she's taking up so much room on this bunk.
Oi Shelly, I feel sick.
Rita put that life jacket back on will you, if you falloverboard Stephen won't come back for you.
Linda, put that flippin knitting away, you might stab Jean with your needles.
Whey hey, this waters getting a bit choppy.
Stephen what are you doing up there, keep her steady will you.
Pauline can you go and have a word with him please, tell him we feel sick.

Mo,
Check the crew list!!!! You ARE with us. Is it you that's drunk?
Stephen

Steepphheenn, cooeee, come back, I am stuck down here in Kent. You rotten swine you've gone without me.
Those drunken bums below deck, are so Pi**ed they didn't even notice I was not there.
I am gonna go home and sulk now.

Hello!,

Read it a couple of times....then close your eyes...and use your imagination...make it come alive.....magic.

I sail there often.

Stephen

Shelly, I am always waiting for Im Indoors, so thought that Stephen would be early. You know what they say, the early bird catches the worm. Oooops sorry Stephen, I didn't mean you are a worm.
Well I don't know perhaps you are, ya stood us all up. tut tut.

Rita I am shocked, talking about Stephens wind like that.

Pauline that painted snail, it wasn't pink was it. If it was,I will scrape it of my shoe and send it back to you. Sorry but theres not much left of it. You may need to paint another one.

Just thought Shelly, if we are having a snail race,you will need to post the time and date.
Who is going to be running the book on the runners, and taking the bets.

Marilyn, are you getting excited at seing John Mc Cririck's pants again tonight.
Big pants fit big behinds. He's one ugly son of a gun isn't he.
Yesterday, when he was set the task by the tree, to be nice to people, made me want to chuck up.
I wish they would bring back Pete. If you remember he was the one that had the tourettes. He was such a likeable lad.

Hello Me Sailor Gals,

Linda, Rita, Marilyn, Shelley, Mo, Pauline, et.al.

Lifejackets on, Ok! Good. If you do fall overboard, don't worry....they inflate automatically as soon as you hit the water. And if the tide takes you away...don't worry...we will all wave bye bye to you.

Anchor aweigh. Sails up, gentle breeze, off we go. Due
South West from Oban Bay. The Island on your right is Kerrera, we slip serenly down the sound between that and the mainland.
Ahead is Seil Island, former home of Princess Dianas mum, Mrs Shand Kydd....a lovely woman...kind and gentle.
Down the west side of Seil...and look...the porpoise are jumping ahead of the boat. They always do that.
Passed the tiny Island of Easdale that once gave roof slates to all the world.
We are now passing Luing we will head slightly East now and pass just North of Scarba. Head South again...look...on your right is Corryvreckan, one of the largest whirlpools in the World.. Down the East side of Jura...George Orwell wrote his book, 1984, on this Island. It also is home to Jura Malt...a grand whisky. See how high the hills are on this wee island.
Ahead is Islay...home of even finer Malt Whisky. Round the bottom and start heading North for Mull. On your left is Colonsay, white shinining beaches and crystal clear water.
Passing down the Sound of Iona now. Burial ground of the Kings of Scotland and the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland thanks to St. Columba.Heading into the Bull Hole now, drop anchor. Time for a cuppa.

Welcome to my own Tir-nan-Og. My little piece of heaven on earth. My place of peace and solace.

I share this place with very few.
Beauty and perfection in all that surrounds me, what more do I need.

The wee boat over there with the blue and white flag flying means he has a Diver down and I should keep clear. NO MARILYN....you can't hoist your bra to let him know I have women on board.
Crew head below to the cabin. I remain on deck to check all is ok.
After about a half hour....sounds of giggles....What are they doing? An hour later they are still below...now singing!!!! HELP they have found my stash of Malt Whisky. They are all drunk as newts. Didn't know they knew any Sea Shanties! 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor' rings out across the bay.
I suppose it's not often they get the chance to let their hair down! That's enough sailing for today...hope they are ok for tomorrow and the next leg of the journey.

Stephen

I put a thread out as I have a "windows live "keep popping asking me to let someone in as a friend I know, him he .it is my brother in law but I dont use Windows Live anymore.it is driving me up the wall. the pop up says block this and no and I tick both these every time and it still remains. but no one has given me any idea.

perhaps someone will get on the thread tomorrow and let me know.

It is not very good here Pauline it looks more like November then August.
I wish I could be near the sea. I need the salt air. Lol
