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

Ullapool




Thursday 2nd Sept
The day dawned bright clear and windless. The view on the loch was stunning. Chris was immediately out on deck taking photo's and I was soon with him! I even got to have a go with his 'papparazzi' mega zoom lens! But today Chris is getting the bus, back to Fort William, to pick up his car and drive back to Nottingham. We have all had a great week. We had hoped for a bit more wind n wildlife, but thats Scotland for you - either too much, or none at all !

After Chris departed, we mooched around town in the scorching sun, and about afternoon tea time Anne and Rob arrived from Scarborough. Great to see them again, and after stocking up on beers and treats from Tesco, we were soon heading for the local curry house! We were not disappointed with the food on offer, and fell into bed well fed and watered.
