Route of 2007 cruise

This is the narrative log of our 2007 voyage around the North of Britain on our boat, Megstone, a Moody 31. In all, the journey covered 798.8 nautical miles.  We started on Monday 4th June 2007 and eventually left Megstone at her permanent mooring in Loch Creran on 25th July 2007. In all we were at sea for 47 days, and this log provides a short description of every day’s activity. For statistic lovers the facts are all in the appendices.
