Far and Away is now in the water! The past few days have been busy ones - putting the sails back on, painting the bottom, tuning the rig, getting food and seriously cleaning the boat. We lived aboard her in the boatyard without water, climbing a ladder up and down to go to the marina restrooms. Luckily we had heat and lights.
The harbor is protected by huge breakwaters and walls. The entrance is so narrow that there is a traffic light to warn boaters not to enter or exit the same time as the ferry to Arran. This area was once a bustling boatbuilding operation in the 1920’s but that is long gone. The town is now very quiet.
Since I can’t connect to the internet I am experimenting with writing this on my phone. Adding pictures is a challenge. Looks like they uploaded in a different order than I picked.
