Dum dum dum dum... (like in the Jaws!)

We´ve ordered a life raft from Ardfern Chandlery and have now anchored in a lagoon just outside the Ardfern bay, waiting for it to get there. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow or the day after. We left Oban yesterday, a nice place with really friendly people. The same day we left we got invited for a drink at Thomas 60ft yacht, we´d rather be there but here!

On the way here Hampus said: Shark! My respone was: Shark! Funnier in swedish where shark means Hello (at least it does in Skåne: Haj!). But it really was one! A rather big one, approximately 2-3 m. Didn´t really know they liked these cold waters.

A lot of you other cruisers have already crossed the Bay of Biscay now. I guess that we´d ought to by now too. We had a long talk about that a forth night ago. We really should hurry before bad weather, but then we would have had to go straight there and just rush by all these lovely cool places. It didn´t really feel any good for either of us. It felt quite the opposite. This is why we, especially I, like to sail, to see new places, meet new friends. Another fact is that I don´t manage to sail on an everyday basis due to my bad back. I kind of dread the Bay of Biscay for that reason. (But hey, that´s another day!) So we decided to do this at our own pace. Don´t know where (and when) it will take us.

If anyone feel up to going with us, crossing the Bay of Biscay, just let us know. We chose the four person raft so there´s plenty of room...
