WELCOME

Hi. Welcome to the blog pages of Happy Daze.

Ivan and Angela plan to set sail in May, from Scarborough, on the Yorkshire East coast, on a journey around the shores of the UK and Ireland. We will head south, and will travel the right way (clockwise) around the British Isles until we get back to Scarborough, but plan to take our time and enjoy the journey.

We will have our dive kit with us, and intend to jump in and explore the inshore waters at every opportunity. It may be to look at something we know is there (a wreck?), just have a look around to see what we can find, or to get something tasty for supper!

The boat has been extensively re-fitted, and work still goes on to get her ready for the off. Since we brought the boat back from Wells-next-the-Sea she has been known as Wild and Free, but our preparations for the trip will include a re-naming ceremony, and she will be known as Happy Daze.

Please keep in touch to find out how we get on in our preparations and our journey around the coast.

Angela & Ivan

Leg 25


Campbeltown to Tarbert, Loch Fyne. Sun 8th August
A lazy start to the day, waiting for a boat alongside to leave, and for the shop to open so we could get a big pan for anticipated crab and lobster catches!! Motor sail up the loch, in beautiful weather, with stunning scenery all around. This is just what we have been waiting for the whole trip really. We head for an anchorage just past Tarbert, near an ,island. we had dived earlier in the year. In the end we go around the back, and find that the hotel has put visitor moorings in. Very handy, so we tie up, get changed then head up for a beer - or two, with malt whisky chasers of course! A pleasant end to a lovely relaxed day sailing.
