Seas are calm, fenders are out, lines are on. We're flat and level at the dock. Scotland. This will be short.

We saw land yesterday, and 10 hours later we docked. We were all pleased.

Just want to tell all of you how much I've enjoyed doing these postings and then hearing from you. You've all been great, and very reassuring to know you were out there watching. Carolyn and our friends Stacy and Dave Reilly will be here tomorrow, and after a drunken reunion, we'll start to explore Scotland. I may continue some postings during that time, but not sure. In case anyone does continue to look, I will be posting more photos in the library.

A special thanks to John and Mary Treanor for making this trip possible for all of us. Also, if Wiki Wiki can hear me, I want to thank her for ferrying us here in such comfort and safety. There was never any doubt. Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my fellow crewmates (Peter, Ted, and Dean) for their humor, durability, and selflessness (I didn't have to go on the foredeck).

It should be noted that our passage time (17 days plus a few hours) is very fast through this northern route. We owe that to John and his clear competence and desire to keep the boat moving. It's a pleasure to have been associated with such a quality passage.

Stay tuned.
