Arctica’s exit from Crinan sea-lock into west coast waters marks the start of our 2006 cruising adventure. While the distant shores of Norway are our goal, there is much interest and enjoyment to be had along our leisurely way via Orkney, Fair Isle and Shetland. Arctica is in good shape, the Skipper and Mate tolerably so, and we set off with high hopes as liveaboards for five months. Our occasional photo-diary will record some of the events, places and impressions as we go. Do not expect a postcard as well! Feel free to post comments or questions to enliven the
blog.
