We're headed for Inverness this summer. Can we borrow your boat? ;)
You could if it was there :-) Say hi to the Caledonian Canal from me!
Hi David! I love the cap and the seagull story. It's great when wild animals learn to take advantage of human technology :-) I'm going to Inverness tomorrow for a week... woopeeh! No sailing for me, but plenty of drinking instead, haha! Take care/ Jess
Do you still have your lucky cap?
Oh come on... be a sport. Don't you want to see the 7 minute Beautiful BMW video?! ; )
Nice to see you had a great sail on the Caledonian & enjoyed Inverness with sunshine!!
So, did you find the perfect scottish single malt?
Thanks for the stories David - I'll be back to read more later :)
gripping adventures on the high sea, o viking freind ?
How on earth could that seagull swallow a large eel?!! Never knew they were that smart!
Great stories!:o) Do you still have the lucky cap?;o)
