Friday 19/05/06
Drizzle, mist and generally very dreich. Muirneag comes in at lunchtime. After yesterday's delays, the crew will have had to go for a lie-down before setting out again at sort of 4 am. I venture out for some shopping at 4 pm, but it's quite wet. Not windy though. Get the Gazette in, which is full of the usual, and also up to the usual standard of inaccuracy. Browse through the Coastguard website, with its litany of disasters at sea, wrecks under detention and boozy captains at the helm. And the chappy who thought he could smuggle 300 litres of sulphuric acid through customs at Dover. Slap slap. A German couple comes on the ferry for a 4 day stay. Receive a wee plastic duck through the post (you know who you are, quack, quack).

ReplyDeleteHi, Sugar sent me. Hope your wet weather soon clears up. You must work for the Coast Guard or something similiar. Since this is my first visit I am just guess by reading a couple of back entries. Helen
