Robinetta was hauled out at Craig's Big Shed in Rosneath in the middle of October, and she is now safely undercover for the winter. Once she has dried out a little it will be time to get to work on her paint and varnish.
It has been a long hard season for her, and having her inside the shed feels like a huge relief.
We have spent a lot of time aboard this year, with long weekends, 2 fortnight cruises, and a 1 week cruise to finish. We also did get one day sail in our new local area!
Robinetta began her travels at the start of April in Southwold, Suffolk, and reached the Gairloch in the Clyde by the end of September. She traveled 1127nm in 333 hours, split over 42 days underway.
The new engine gave sterling performance over 264 hours, although we have some concerns over the fact that it is burning oil when under high revs.
The latest blog collection will be available under the title "Round Cape Wrath" at the start of December, available from all the usual places. Please have a look at the publishing pages for links when they become available.
