One end to the other
Posted: Friday, 23 November 2007 |
Well, its that time of the week again, and we make our way through to Stromness to check the boat is ok, there is money in the electricity meter etc etc. Deciding to start the engine rains a shower of black soot over the back of the boat, but starting the generator, I am glad i wasnt anywhere near the exhaust on that! A jet of black yuck is sprayed over the side of the boat and I am sent to get a hose to clean it off before it dries.
Andy from the Jean Elaine takes our J cylinders away (the big cylinders of oxygen we use to make nitrox for divers) as he has still got divers and can use them up. No point in them sitting doing nothing really.
Once the boat is checked we mooch off back through and end up on a small trip down to South Ronaldsay where we visit East Side Beach. I nip out to take some piccies and then back to the farm.

Lovely standing stones aren't they ... I find the black and white ones so much more atmospheric, especially the one of the boat and rigging - strange isn't it ...

Oh nooooooooo, parents have found the blog! Cybernagging has arrived......better behave myself now *gulp*
H from sat on my bum drinking tea
Cybernagging! Someone contact the OED immediately, if it isn't a word already, it ought to be. Will this mean a complete change of identity Deckhand?
Flying Cat from never telling family ever...
Mmm it means that i wont be able to tell you of all the stupid and dangerous things i do like *******CENSORED***** and ******CENSORED******. Last time i broke my arm by falling off a fence at 2am (lambing) i made the mistake of putting it on my old blog and not telling my parents. The earache i got for that scarred me for life.
H from packing clothes
I hope all the changes are good! My diving is almost nonexistent!

After coming to Orkney in May 2006 for 8 months, somehow I am still here. Running the MV Valkyrie in the summer and helping on the farm in winter is now my life.
