The forecast on the 16th was for very strong winds, so we decided to stay put in Stranraer and give Moonie a good scrub. There had been a water shortage further north and so Moonshadow was covered in a layer of salt and grime. This sailing lark is very sociable and we spent more time chatting to other yachties than cleaning, which was so much more enjoyable. Thanks Raymond for supplying us with tea and coffee and giving us the excuse to stop work – twice!
Stranraer Marina is small, but has exceptionally friendly and helpful staff and the facilities are spotless.
We held a street collection on the 17th for Help for Heroes. We didn't start collecting until late morning as it was very wet and windy but managed to collect £216.68 which was very good as it was a Tuesday, so not the best day for a collection. Thank you to all who donated and to the staff at Lloyds Bank for counting the money.
