So far today we have just moved the boat to the other side of the canal, so as to be nearer the toilets and showers, and to (hopefully) be able to plug-in and charge some of our electrical equipment.
We did manage to get the bus into Fort William and explore a bit. I think the best thing was lunch, which consisted of some very very tasty ‘roast’ rolls. The meat was really wonderful, and the rolls really soft and fresh- quite different to the bread and meat we normally get on Jelly Fish.
It looks as if the weather is going to take a while to improve, particularly the sea state which remains very rough or even high, and so we may possibly be stuck here again tomorrow. I think both of us would really like to get going again, and could both do with just one sunny day to get everything dry again! We can but pray.

What We Are Doing
Well here we are, planning a trip around the UK coast, we leave on the 12th of June for the 2 and a half month trip, in a boat about the length of a modern estate car. Crazy? Foolhardy?
Well we like to think so.
The aim of this sponsored sail is to raise money for the Fellowship Afloat's bursary fund, which provides oppurtunities for people to enjoy outdoor activities who might otherwise not be able to afford it.
One of Fellowship Afloat's big goals is to allow as many people as possible the oppurtunity to enjoy the activities that the centre provides. Over the years this has meant subsidising the costs for many individuals and groups.
The fund setup to provide for these groups and individuals has been supported over the years by generous legacy's and donations, but this has over the last three years been depleted as Fellowship Afloat has sought to offer itself to more.
We plan with this trip to replenish the bursary fund, our goal £10,000 is the amount that Fellowhsip Afloat spent last year from this fund, and if we can raise it will guarantee another years worth of support.
Please keep checking this page as we update it with our location and the tales of our travels around the UK. If you would like to donate money to the bursary fund Click on the link at the top of the page.
