As usual a great video Bruce. Looks as if you had a nice day out with the only dampner the fog! I take it the new electronics work well and brought you home on the mark.
Sorry I missed you in Girvan but I was in tayvallich all that week.

Oh, the Fog Horn at Douglas was working a treat. Initially I thought that it was donegaldan (missed his breakfast) but, no.... Foghorn.
