31st August

Arrived in Oban at 1400hrs after a lovely passage.

Went to the parrot sanctuary and had the most amazing night. Yvonne and Ian are two of the kindest and most unbelievable people I have met on this trip.

I learnt so much about the behavour of parrots and also found out that Finley may well me a girl !!!!!

I was leaving tomorrow but I can not bring myself to leave as I am going to help at the sanctuary tomorrow as a wee thank you for the bags of gifts and food for Finley given by Yvonne and Ian.

Weather's not good, hopefully going to Oban on Tuesday and I really cannot wait to get there as I have just discovered something that has blown me away...

There is a sanctuary on the island of Kerrera which is where my next stop is, its website is www.parrotbehaviourconsultant.com
This place has just hit the spot with me, the work they do is simply unbelievable.

If you have a box of Kleenex tissues at the ready please look at their web site and even better make a donation.

Currently at the top of Neptune's Staircase.

Next stop the Atlantic Sea, Going to have a day off tomorrow and get Zuma ready for the seas again and hopefully be in Oban on Monday..

Weather forecast isn't looking too good for the weekend, but then again it is Bank Holiday weekend !!

Loved the Canal and I would recommend it to anyone who has the chance to 'sail' through it.

Sorry for no updates, as there has been no internet connection.

I am currently in Loch Lochy, the canal is unbelievable, I never realised scenery like this existed in Britain.

Hoping to get some electricity and supplies as all the contents in my fridge have had to be discarded due to no fridge and food stocks are running low.

Next stop Neptunes Staircase..

Leg 22 Arbroath to Peterhead via Stonehaven
