Off we go. Bob presents the accounts and Susan takes the minutes as a tiny little hologram of Marigot sails across the table. What an utterly amazing presentation!
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
We’re in North Carr’s crew room, all paying attention. Marigot appears to sail on towards the edge of the table.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Marigot’s hologram halts and goes astern a little bit...it really is amazingly realistic. Bob moves on to new topics
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Poor Bob, he’s not woffling at all and he really does have our attention but, as a unit, we’re hard on our friends and it’s been fourteen minutes already....
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
...but then he does woffle so we all pull faces.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
It works. He quickly regains focus but the Chair watches him closely just in case.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, we did have a good Annual General Meeting.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
In the Apex Hotel afterwards
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Joel feels an insight into this planet coming on. At the same moment, Susan beams up.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Och keep your rumours to yourself. It’s simply not true.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
No it isn’t.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
.....“I always cross my right over my left, like this...”
|
|
|
|
“Actually, so do I...”
|
|
|
|
That ends this Annual General Meeting.

|
Our second course for the SPS is completed. ...Great Hat!

Joel volunteered. We expect he’ll learn...
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
First he went that way....
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
...then he changed his mind and went that way...
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
...this way

Off Broughty Ferry
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Setting the longer steaming spring for tying up at Woodhaven.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Coming alongside at Woodhaven Pier to take on board passengers - a couple of lads with their family for a trip around the Tay Estuary
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Louis took the wheel first. The rest of us just helped and kept a good lookout
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Twin throttles levers pushed forward to give us a mind numbing 8 knots of roaring power. Louis concentrates on holding the boat steady..
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Doing fine
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Then Finn took the wheel.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
He soon worked the controls out
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
...checked we were all ok...
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
...and off we went - all round the River Tay
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
with Badger
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
