We've Got The Sail Up!
Posted: Wednesday, 23 August 2006 |
Look! After six years we've finally got the sail up on the longship!
We finally got to sail the Longship last night, it was fantastic! I couldn't get a photo of the front of the sail as it was blowing out too far and there was no way I was staying on land for the sake of a photo!
With the sail up we can go tons faster than when we're rowing so the plan is to sail the Longship over to the Largs Viking Festival next Saturday and sail it back the following Sunday. Anyone wanting to come either come along to Corrie port at mid day this Sunday or 6.30 Tuesday evening when we will be taking the longship out sailing or contact me at The Arran Art Store 01770 600 627 or Neil at Corrie Hotel on 01770 810 273. We need more members!

I swear there was a porpoise right there a second ago! I will make sure the batteries are charged next time as we see quite a few cetaceans when we are out there. That's Arran, Corrie & Sannox side in the background.
