I'm a Glasgow Scot too and at the moment it 03.15 and is charateristically dreech outside - I'm still up at the moment because I'm jet-lagged and my mind thinks it's still in Maine - unfortunately for my body which is crying out for sleep!! Baz - the ships are coming to my neck of the woods next year, if you ever get the opportunity to sail on one do it - it's a magical experience, especially if you get folky/shanty singers on board! Had a great experience in Tobermoray this year - an impromptu jam session on the bridge of a 150ft schooner - guitar, fiddle, squeezebox, moothie, tin whistle and as many joining in the singing as wanted to, as the sun set over the harbour and the lights of the Mishnish pub beckoned. Bliss, absolute bliss... Cheers, Mo.
