Unusual Sailing Boat. The Nordlaendinger.

If, as I suppose, this small boat crossed the North Sea from Sweden to the Moray Firth [then Beauly Firth entering the Caledonian Canal and into Muirtown Marina] I consider the crew to be very brave.

Interesting pic David, they are obviously a lot braver than I am, across the North sea!

They've been coming across the North Sea in boats like that for centuries! Just not so often in modern times. *ahem*

But there were young children on board; I suppose they would have known what weather was expected David.

I'd rather sail in that than the high speed motor boats anyday! :yes:

If you were too woooed you'd be in the water ! deep water. David.

There is a poem including the words ' ocean blue ' but I'm afraid it doesn't spring completely to mind ! David.

That was exactly my opinion and certainly not with small children aboard. David.
