A short trip

I had my monthly Gaelic conversation circle in Sandbank this morning but there was time before that to investigate the accessories problem. They worked last year but they had stopped. I started checking out the connections and found the chocolate block joining two pieces of flex together. Alison said "Why didn't you use gel crimps?". I didn't know. Probably they weren't on board. So I took out the chocolate block and put two gel crimps in. And everything works!

5 minutes well spent.

My Gaelic thing was super fun. We played the Gaelic version of "Scottish Quest". It's a good game.

Then we had lunch in the café at the marina and set off.

Today's wind was on the nose out of Holy Loch, more gentle than yesterday and due to die away.

So we had everything up and Robinetta sailed perfectly and gently straight towards Kip Marina.

On the way, we saw an unfamiliar red buoy. Possibly the race mark for tomorrow's race in the Fife Regatta.

The wind died as promised, but not until we were within half a mile of Kip. By 4 pm we were nicely moored in the marina.

A lovely little sail. This is feeling like a proper weekend.
