Wednesday 17th May. Pucisca on the island of Brac




 Bugger, the second time I've written this. A leisurely breaky this morning and raining again. We sailed out after breakfast and I headed to my cabin. It works for me!! After a snooze I headed out as we sailed into Port.  Due to the heavy rain there was lots of silt in the water. Finally moored and after a delicious lunch we headed off for a ride at 3pm.








We headed up hill through muddy roads. Water across the road and eventually a better road. With the sun out it all looked so different.  The water is soo blue. We stopped for some great pics. Lots of olive trees and soil cleared of rocks left in mounds to be used later to make fences.

We stopped for olive oil tasting. Not for me, it's like having cod liver oil. Yuk!! Then down the hill back to our boat. Again the sun, finally, on the water looked great. I'm about to have my bread sandwich as I need a rest from eating sooo much.

    Love the one with you near the rock. Nice to see some blue sky.
    Both yesterday and today "cold" starts- 1.2C. Winter is definitely coming here.

    Absolutely no issues with writing on your blog today. No idea what was wrong yesterday.

    The last picture is a great summary of the rides. So many islands so there is a view wherever you look. Picturesque small ports. That rain is a nuisance! I did giggle, Jen.

    I’m loving that boat. Can you please find out if they ever travel under sail? The water looks so calm, no chance of sea sickness. Favourite picture today is grey sky, grey sea, a yacht in the distance and a baby lighthouse on the harbour.

Saturday/Sunday, 17th and !8th May 2025

 Saturday was a very long day, that really bled into Sunday as I travelled through numerous  time zones.  I left Melbourne  on Saturday at midday and flew to Auckland.  Change of planes to LA. Business class again was delightful but Air NZ doesn't seem to have a big choice of movie, not a huge problem when you can lie down etc!! Once we headed to LA, I'd  eaten enough so had my bed made up and went to sleep. Woke for a delicious  breakfast and then into LA. Collected my luggage after 2 hours waiting in lines for security.  Quickly through and handed  case in for Denver.  Then the route march to terminal 7. 45 mins later I arrived in a lather and thru security again for my flight. Ticket wouldn't register so an anxious wait while they fixed it. Finally into Denver but no luggage. Had to wait another hour for it to arrive and then find the shuttle bus to take me to my accommodation.  Finally fell into bed at 10pm!!! Up for early shutt...

Sunday 8th June 2025. Edinburgh and now Oban, Scotland.

Image
 Arrived bright and early into Edinburgh and it felt like we were in a big warehouse. Certainly not flash, but so easy to get into Scotland,  took no time at all. Put my case into storage and took a bus into town. Bus driver was great and told me about the tourist spots. I walked around in the sun and checked out the castle and all the other monuments.  I even went to church and listened to the choir. Got back on the bus back to the airport and headed over to the Hampton hotel where I was getting picked up. Michael  had texted me to confirm pick up so all good.  Picked up with others and 3 hours later we arrived in Oban. Beautiful scenery.  The boat , the Flying Dutchman,  is much more rustic than all my other trips but food is great and again very well organised and of course this time I have my mate Marion from Melbourne and we've already paled up with Cathryn from Canada. We're drinking gin and tonics b4 we head back to the boat.  40 kms tomorr...

Tuesday 10th June, 2025. Crinan to Jura.

Image
 Boy I slept well after a big day. I was sooo cold and wet but recovered well after a hot shower and into dry clothes. Everything  was sopping and it was hard to find where to dry everything.  Fortunately today was sunny!! So we hung our clothes outside on the boat. They sailed after our bike ride. We did 27kms along the  Crinan canal and even watched a boat go in and out the locks. Ahh it took me back. A beautiful bike ride today. No hills and the sun was glorious.   We had lunch at Kilmartin and I had soup again. And an amazing hot chocolate.  We then did a few burial sites and some stones( much smaller than Stonehenge) We rode back to Crinan and off we sailed to Jura. Lovely smooth sailing and we played Phase 10. We sat outside to eat our delicious dinner( the food is wonderful on the boat) Unfortunately the midges came in so inside. We're  now over at the pub to check out our grog of choice!!! Beautiful  sunny weather predicted for tomorr...
