Monday morning blues

Well, the week is off to a less than great start. I was due for a busy week with paddling on three days and sailing to St Kilda on two. The boat was to be delivered to Leverburgh and I was going to skipper her out to St Kilda. On the way down on Saturday there is a problem with charging the batteries and so there is no power.

They had to sail into Loch Seaforth and anchor there. So I face the prospect of having to explain to the customers that we can’t go. I am hoping the engineer can fix it. So the pleasures of owning a boat. I was once told owning a yacht is the same as standing naked under a cold shower tearing up £50 notes. I am beginning to think this could be an apt description.

Oh, and one car is broken and the other is off for an MOT ! So ’shank’s pony’
