Day 9 – Sept 12th.
Today is an easy travel day, back to Linlithgow. I remembered some fun things I just didn’t get a picture of on the way up, so I kept an eye out for them. We docked in Linlithgow, went on a walk and had dinner at Mason Belles Kitchen. The food was wonderful and the service…

Days 5, 6 & 7 – Lots to catch up on
This is a long post – lots of pictures and few words. I hope you enjoy. A few things you learn on a boat of this size, one it is tight quarters; everyone is on the same (or very close) schedule; and your electrical connections are limited. For one thing Europe is not AC but…

Day 4 – Traveling Sept. 7th
Today was mainly a travel day to Ratho. The weather was cloudy for the majority of the day and it rained in the afternoon. Then as expected as we tried to dock, the rain was the worst, and thus the male occupants got wet. It is hard to get good pictures that actually show the…

The flights were pretty uneventful (small delays, but nothing problematic). Our flight to Scotland was an evening/night flight, but rest was the best we could…

Muses – Facts and stuff
I am going to start this post off explaining what this trip meant – the why if you will. I like to trek and I feel very comfortable in fresh water. I wanted a challenge so I looked at the ICW. Of course a salt water trip added the challenge of, the corrosiveness of salt…

I don’t want to fight or sit out the weather
I finally got to the internet and got to post all my pictures, and that took hours of work. I can’t imagine how the youtubers can do this. It was fun reliving the time spent; I met many new people and made new friends. I hope you get over and see those shots (click on…

Contrasting days work
Wednesday was a beautiful day, with 10mph head wind, and the tide against me at the end of the day. So no 20 miles that I had hoped. I did get 15 by paddling (and resting 3 times) for 7.5 hours. It was tough and I was exhausted. The scenery is really nice, nice homes…
