Another cracking day

And a dive boat returns to Stronsay.

Hooray.........the internet is back on, three days this has been off, mind you it is like wading through mud at the moment......... it is that slow.

The week started off with one of the best days (weatherwise) so far. Not a breath of wind was to be had and there was sunshine aplenty.

The phone rang behind the bar the other day and it was the skipper of this live aboard dive boat, the MV Karin. Can I bring my charter party in for some drinks?  he asks a slightly bemused me.
Apparently it would be around this point when the previous owners would have said.......No!
This is why this boat, and many others haven't been here for years

Having a boatload of hungry and thirsty people delivered to your pub door is a bit of a "no brainer" to me. Anyway, they will now be coming back again!

Right, I've had enough of this, I'm off.

Those worm casts and weed are a good ten to twelve feet down, clear water or what?

Sometimes you just know you have done the right thing don't you.

That little yacht sailed completely around the island during the week arriving back at dusk, they must have lapped it up as they were straight out again the next day.

Yacht skippers are another set of people we have got to try to attract back to the island.
There are tales of an article in one of their magazines about not going to the Stronsay Hotel as the reception is luke warm at best. We like a challenge. 

Another visitor, one of the twenty thousand or so that are said to be here. This is our sixth sighting so far, aren't we doing well!

Moody picture......................The Sky's the Limit


D doesn't like this........but I do.






Until next time.......................
