If anyone has a SIB and motor that they would like to haul up there for me I would be very pleased to use it.
Otherwise I'll just have to slum it aboard Cyanide

Wow now there's a thought...
JK races KH by SIB across the Pentland Firth!
So come on folks anyone got a spare SIB and engine? JK you can always slum it on Cyanide after we have crossed the Firth.

So the preparations have begun. Thirty degrees celcius is a good time to wash the SIB and pack it away as it will dry quickly and it folds up easily when it is warm.
1st get the water out...

Now find some volunteers (a friend's children so you don't have to pay them) and get it all washed down...

Was speaking to Alex Brown on IRC earlier, and he says the Round Britain lot arrived safely at Milford Haven earlier on. Keith delighted everyone with Tales from North Wales over the evening meal, and they're all safely tucked up in their hotel rooms now, ready for another early start in the morning.

Hello folks
Sorry for the delay but this is the first time we've had a chance to use the internet since setting off.
We are now safely in JoG.
I will post more after my full Sciottish breakfast!

There's a #RIBnet on irc.telefragged.com if you want to check it out, usually just me and Alex Brown though.

Apologies Keith, but to confirm phone conversation, myself and Daniel are out of it due to a knackered water pump which Nissan can't supply until Wednesday. (W*nkers). Looked at the option of flying up but cost is prohibitive. It's cheaper to fly to America. Have a good trip across but getting to Stroma isn't a full crossing so video evidence will be required of a full crossing. I know how you expeditioneers can tend to be economical with the truth  Daniel and myself hope to get out somewhere a bit more local after Wednesday.
Dave/Daniel.

Well there we go, even if I had been able to go, I wouldn't have been able to get up there!
Dave, that your boat up for sale on boatsandoutboards? Looks a lot like your boat, your house and your 4x4 in the picture.
