End in sight... | Windsurf Round Britain

Saw a lot of Puffins, they'd lost their colourful beaks by the end of summer

Pennan - Local Hero - did a lot of Dire Straits humming around here

I met so many kind folk along the way - including some more than once! I first met these guys in Northern Ireland and they kept an eye on me on the crossing to Scotland.

The Summer Isles - looking, at best, autumnal

Skerries Radio - a bit calm for the authentic sound of lapping waves

Sound of Sleat. Great boat, weather, location. I almost became a sailor.

Sandwood Bay - NW Scotland - last stop before Cape Wrath

Spey estuary - the forced/unplanned stops were often special

Slowing up ready for a stage-managed finish, I have some time to look over the pictures from the last 3 months, and share a few. Having (almost) sailed around our Island I realise I still haven't really seen it, for that I'd have to go back, go slower. Maybe walk, or kayak, or fly.

But I digress. Reflections can wait. This isnt quite yet a signing off post.

If you have enjoyed following this adventure - found the blog posts interesting, or perhaps just liked the pictures - please do consider a donation to either of the charities that I have been raising funds for. Whichever resonates most with you.

Ralph Bates Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund:

Supporting Tanzanian Orphans and Widows:
