As luck would have it we transported our own pies to the location – we felt that pies would be thin on the ground. I must say that the Dornoch Firth requires a few m ore days exploration.
I must say that the last few days have reminded me what a great little yacht she is for sneaking into all those tiny places. If it all went wrong and I got neaped then I reckon ten stout men at high tide could drag her into deeper water. The fact that she draws so little really makes her slip along and through shallow places in a way I never could with the Centaur.
She is also completely lobster pot marker proof – and the terrible pot marking proclivities of Scottish recreational fishermen is truly, truly crap – floating lines of 30 feet or more attached to a single grey oil can are really common.
However, while Jill and I could live quite well for months on end on the Centaur doing the same on Katie L is more of a challenge. We have just completed an 10 hour 550 mile drive back from Inverness to Oxford to escape some bad weather
I shall do my very best not to get into a position where I have to sell Katie L to finance another Centaur but a bigger boat is required
