On board: Jeff Dickens, Mark Kingsley, Phil Holt and myself. Loch Oich is very different from Loch Lochy; narrower and in places very shallow.

BRe 030, "Moireach". The tales of Moireach, my Swallow Boat's Bay Raider Expedition. Monday, 31 August 2015. The Old Bar Expedition. On board: Bob and John. Accompanied by April Fool with Dave Sherrard and John Fraser. This has been a long time in gestation. Indeed for some, many years! The plan was for April Fool (Dave and John's Devon Yawl) to arrive at the Findhorn Marina.

Just before we head back to Banchory, we really wanted a last sail at Findhorn. The weather was very overcast (drizzle? And the wind was up and down. Before proceedings I had a new furling line for the jib to fit and a bungie to construct, so the main halyard doesn't flog. Saturday, July 09, 2016. Location: Findhorn, Forres IV36, UK.

BRe 030, "Moireach". The tales of Moireach, my Swallow Boat's Bay Raider Expedition. Sunday, 19 July 2015. Weather slot worth chasing. On Board: Adele, Joyce and John. A damp start to Sunday, but by the time we had sat outside The Bakehouse. For our coffee (it was heaving! The low cloud was breaking up. No wind to speak of, so expectations were for a motor out to the seals in the sunshine, perhaps with a small picnic on board. Under full sail I did a J-turn into the wind, but with the tide now flowing it...
