springtime in Scotland it's summer in
Scotland I don't know if you can hear me
over the noise
[Music]

Beverly and I have come to open the hub
of Highlands because we've got to get a
few jobs done well job number one which
was a shower badly needed has been done
so now let's go off and get the rest of
our jobs
[Music]
well nobody's gone off shopping and I
unfortunately I'm here at the accidents
and emergencies when we were at table ik
my right shoulder just started give me
all sorts of jet and although I've got
full movement I just seem to have pins
and needles down my right arm all the
time so I might as well just get it
sorted and get it checked out it's like
everything else you've got a you just
gotta get it sorted there's no excuses
so it's a trapped nerve so I've gotta go
find a very nice physiotherapist you
never know
[Music]
massage no it wasn't what I was
expecting I thought the neck massage
would just be in romanette but she did a
great job all the way down my spine and
of course my neck and across my
shoulders so it's a over a lot further
than I was expecting but again I think
what I'm thinking at the moment is I'm
just having to have so many different
changes of my mind really because
realistically I've never really looked
after myself you know I've always looked
after my kids and you know things like
that but now I've got to look after
myself because you know I've got to rely
on myself so much more for everything
that we do we've got to rely on
ourselves so I've got to look after
myself a lot more and it's just a
complete change of mental thought
processes the changes perspective but
it's not initially I thought it because
I'm just not selfish person you know I'm
being selfish you know thinking about
myself and and and that but it's not
really because you know Beverley needs
me to be fit and well and it's part of
what we have to do you know just because
we lie on each other day we better think
of it as a crew safety issue it's a crew
safety shake yeah you know I've got to
be well if you're not able to help me
I'm facing more danger yes yeah so if
I'm not able to help Beverley I'm
putting her in danger so it's just it's
just a different way of thinking and I
think moving on to the boat and living
on the boat it's all these things that
you just you think oh it's not something
that you thought about before is it Bev
no generally not you know and it's just
these are the things that we're just
sharing
with use and just so that you can think
that oh well you have to think about
this one of Albans most striking
features is it it seems to have a Roman
Colosseum above it well you always
wanted to see the Colosseum did friends
Scotsman countrymen lend me your ears
[Music]
[Laughter]
well we're tied up in a marina so you
would know it
there is a 470 light side and the boat
is currently heeled between 4 and 5
degrees up the dockside so waiting for
this flow to go through and then we can
finally leave it open and carry on right
the the area you go to milk which is
what we want to do but there's no way
we're going out here today it's just
Bev and I are in a marina just north of
Oban and it's just so different just
because we're in a slightly different
position
there's just no wind
there's no slap on the the back of the
boat and it really is quiet so ah I
think I can do with just a really good
night's sleep and then Bev and I will
continue our adventure Beverly but I've
got the fairlead off ah ha ha I've got
the things it's a good scrub and I'm
giving up do you alright boss this is
fairly huh and oh gosh I don't know if
you can see that just how bent layers
let's just have a look yeah you can see
that now is definitely one bent see my
nemesis is here with the camera again so
Beverly but anyway
tell us how's it going balance is going
well I've got three holes two of them
have worked out really well so that's
two-thirds the one-third that remains on
the except for the two-thirds that was
brilliant because the one-third that
remains still has a bolt in and I've got
a drill on the bugger right and it's a
big long bolt that goes down along when
I could be here for a week
I hope not is gonna be here for a week
oh the people who on the slip who aren't
supposed to be here today just turned up
to be fairly be very gracious about it
they're gonna go up and see if they can
leave their boat not slip over there and
let me get on with this alright I'll let
you get on with it too
springtime in Scotland
reven I've just bought this chart but
the one thing you've got to remember
about charts is they are only just a
guide and as soon as we bought them
they're wrong so I've got the
corrections off the inner a website and
I'm just gonna make a couple of
Corrections so that you can see what I'm
doing but the one thing you do need to
make corrections is a magenta pen
because for whatever reason you make
corrections in mirror ingenta and
another useful thing it's a really long
ruler so that you can actually find
these where these Corrections are going
to go
well apparently they've added some
voyage in around open and the entrance
out of open so what I've done is I've
marked it in pencil first just to make
sure that I've got the latitude and the
longitude to correct
Beverly's checked it so we're both
talking the same language and now I'm
just going to make my Corrections
there's a little triangle just there and
then there's two Canz
squares that's them so that one's
obviously red red green green green and
there's another one just here the
triangle just so why did you choose
marine flex rather than butyl tape
[Music]
but the glorious job
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Bev and I are doing little bunny hops at
the moment really really short sales we
went from Oban to what was support
done the stuff niche which is only like
two hours sale for two miles
yeah this is my idea of miles it wasn't
very long and now we're on another
little bunny hop from done stuff niche
all the way to well we are going to move
but we're going to another we're going
to hopefully do in Anchorage tonight
Bailey look Aileen so we're going to go
to LA Kaling but I'm working terribly
hard so don't disturb me
yeah very hard at the moment supervising
Annie it just looks like that I'm doing
multitasking oh yes she's multitasking
anyway
that's what we needed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it's summer in Scotland I don't know if
you can hear me over the noise
the Mikey the lockers completely
disappeared so we've decided not to go
to save it's horrible out there
over that way there are three or four
yachts hunkered
[Music]
you
