D-day arrives.

Smooth "sailing" all the way to Balloch for the pickup...NOT!

9:20am How is it possible that they have shut the A91 at Auchtermuchty and have sod all diversion signs?

10:10am Ace trailer - Thanks John - But even after adjusting its ~5-10cm too narrow for the measurements Steven made off his boat - Dilema - we're late already - do we carry on or double back to Stevens for an angle grinder in case we need to do some "modifications" - modifications wins out.....

10:30am A marathon going through the main street - What are the chances that a) this should happen on a dreary Sunday morning and b) we should be 10 seconds too late to be at the front and therefore are lead car at the back.

11:45am Whats that noise? - Oh - where is my jockey wheel?

But Finally....

12:15pm Hi Derek - Thanks for being so patient - Sorry we've not been having much luck today - What? YOU THINK THE BOATS GOT A CENTRE KEEL!!?##.... This day could be heading quickly down the toilet.

Lady Luck enters stage left....

[1] It's not a centre keel
[2] It's floating
[3] We're here

Two hours later with much help from Derek - Thanks again - she's in the trailer and out of the water.

Mast down for the journey and a shake of hands with Derek and she's mine. [Thanks for the third time Derek].
