Season Totals

We had two distinct cruises this year. The first took us up to Stornoway, in three weeks, while the second brought us back south to cruise inside the Clyde. These were bookmarked by delivery trips, one from last winter's storage at Cairnbaan, and one to this winter storage at Fairlie Quay. In view of this I thought I should compare the different cruises as well as compile the totals.

This year, like last, we got a lot of sailing compared to maintenance time. Robinetta is showing the lack now, with some rot in the bulwarks and shabby paint and varnish. She is in a shed this winter, so there is no excuse for not painting her properly and repairing the various leaks round the hatches!
