springtime in Scotland it's summer in

Scotland I don't know if you can hear me

over the noise

[Music]

[Applause]

[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
