Lossiemouth - Tuesday 17th May 2011 - Day 15
09.00 Ashore for breakfast in the Harbour Lights then into the office for a chat with Harbour Master, the engine parts arrived at 11.45. What a wonderful service considering they were ordered at 16.15 the day before from Poole in Dorset.
Walked to the Co-op on the other side of town and stopped at the Beach Bar for lunch.
While I fitted the new engine parts and replenised oils and ran successful trials, Lizz went off to do the shops. Went to the 1629 restaurant at night for haddock and chips.
Lossiemouth - Wednesday 18th May 2011 - Day 16
09.00 Ashore for breakfast in the Harbour Lights, the Harbour Master gave me the weather for the forthcoming week which was not very promising though there was a small window possible the next day.
The local fisherman who I met everyday told me I had been in Lossiemouth that long he had been in touch with the council to put me on the housing list and I was in the top ten.
Jimmy the marine engineer had purchased a new battery charger for me and checked the running of the engine after another successful trial.
A tri-maran from Holyhead arrived with Malcolm on board doing a clockwise circum-navigation of the U.K. and passed on good information.
