Caledonian & Lomond - fabulous!

Post by Alacrity »

I returned late Monday from what can only be described as a fabulous week of boating in Scotland. Firstly the Caledonian Canal trip, six boats made the journey & we completed 113 miles in the 3 days. NO RAIN :woo: !! Then on to Loch Lomond on Friday for the rally there with 13 boats attending, great sunny weather :heat: with little or no wind, great event with great people.

The icing o the cake was my little 1500 tin Delta ran like a gold watch the whole week covering over 200 miles without missing a beat & sipping fuel like scrooge.

Many thanks to the organisers of both events, I can't wait until next time.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
