Aaaaaaaaaaaah this is the life

Aaaaaah there is nothing like sailing the Seven Seas. We are sailing between Ballycastle and Tarbert and hope to put inthere later, maybe at the Anchor Sailor's Inn on the quayside at Tarbert by the old Mull. Lovely weather, blue sea, lots of blue sky and sunshine, and a nice day for sailing with a brisque breeze to blow us over there to Scotland. Water supplies a bit low so we must put in somewhere and take some on board - maybe somewhere along Loch Fyne. See what the local belles have in mind, and herewith nextdoor we have a photo from our last visit to Scotland two summers ago, where Lauren and Andromeda supplied some fresh water for the ship's crew. Spotted a French sail the other day off the western coast of Ireland - it might be the devilish SS Ardent with the devious Capt Haddon on board - a schemer if ever there was one - an Irishman in the pay of the French and a close friend of Napoleon. Says he worked for Blucher once but he is definitely on the side of the French Revolution and its potty Napoleon. French colours. That devilish red and blue tricoloeur.
