Many miles away there’s a shadow on a door
Of a cottage by the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake
– the police
A new day, a new bowl of Haggis! Well, something like that anyway. Thanks to everyone for their emails and encouragements. It’s hard sometimes to translate emotions to print but I’m certainly not down or out. Speaking with Kelly last evening I’m sure he’s more disappointed than I am, at least in the fact that I can still get my stuff together continue my Nessie hunt. The only real change comes in that I have to pick up on some logistics and at this point, maybe even those original plans will still go through. Plus there are lots of good folks around that I’m sure I can pester someone to give me a ride to the water’s edge.

Save, save, ohhhhhh, save me
Don’t let me face my life alone
Save, save, ooh…
I’m naked and I’m far from home

I’ve read that the Royal National Lifeboat Institution rescues on average 22 people a day in the UK. I certainly don’t want to be one of them. If I’m going to visit with those brave (and possibly a bit crazy) volunteers of the RNLI I’d rather do it while warm and dry. With that in mind I’m checking in with the life boat stations along our route to let them know what we are planning and also to arrange a visit or two so we can share some of their stories with you along the way. The crew at Loch Ness Life Boat have welcomed Kelly and I to drop in already. I’m looking forward to that!
