Well, they talked us into staying another night in Lybster! We were just going to be lazy, but we ended up going out along the cliffs on the coast in front of their house in kayaks and the dinghy. It was really cool, we kayaked through a ton a huge caves and tiny cracks in the cliffs! I almost flipped the dang kayak trying to ride a wave across a gap in a rock...
almost flipped it and
almost made it! I had to wiggle around and push myself off the way I came across. We had a lot of fun and wasted a lot of "petrol" in the dinghy! We hung out with the Dutch couple that were staying with Mano and Louise and Eric, Frenchman...oh yeah, and Gus the Border Collie! We cooked dinner, they had a rice/fish dish and Louise made me some dang good breaded corned beef burger things and potatoes! We slept great, until the Dutch blew a fog horn to wake everyone up for breakfast! Mano headed off to the control tower on his bicycle, the Dutch couple (Rennata and Sander, I think they are called) headed out, and Louise took us and Eric to Helmsdale for a check on the sailboat ropes and some good King Rib and Battered Haddock! They saw us off at the train station and we headed to a hostel north of Edinburgh again to clean some rooms for a free private room and breakfast! Tomorrow, Patrice, the CSer we stayed with in Caen, France is taking a vacation to meet us in Glasgow, Scotland and we are going to meet him and his friends at 4:15pm tomorrow...after we clean!
