From the ships’ logbook:
(Skipper)
09:45 BST: Yesterday was a real tough day. We had the wind right against us at force 9. The engine overheated. The 1st tacked (zigzagged) with the storm jib and 2 reefs in the mainsail. The strong current made big waves. I was trying to repair the engine and hang on at the same time. After 2-3 hours the engine is running again. Right now we are eating breakfast. There is a lot to attend to and repair onboard.

2035: Food and "drink" has been carried onboard and we are at good spirits. A shower and the Pub is next. Right now we are eating chocolate pudding with a splash of whisky (??!!!)
The night is young and the place is Inverness. What's will happen before we bunk?
From the ships’ logbook:
(1st)
00:15 Correction, 23:15 BST The first Pub is tested. The Pubs own ale is tested. OK, actually real good! Met a gang of English yachtsmen that told us horror stories of Americans in hired boats navigating the locks sideways. They recommended us to use all the fenders we owned. Next point on our program is a shower before we bunk. The skipper is at it, and then it will be my turn. Will be great to feel how it feels without salt all over you.
The tale begins on my homepage travelogue "the North Sea"

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)
Wonderful recap of adventures. A corner of the world I want to go, but havent yet. But can you really call it a 'corner' since there's no edge...
