Aye, Aye Skipper

While I'm out exploring in icy conditions this week my thoughts are back to those pre-pandemic days when such could be  done outdoors easily

Sea Scouts aboard this vessel indicate clearly all is well while looking really smart in their uniforms.

Although this area is land-locked I have a very real affinity with the sea  and love learning about and exploring all manner of boats and coastal instillations such as light houses and ports.

One boyhood friend of mine from high school, Nigel, was a sea scout and  a few miles away in the neighbouring County of Cheshire there is an active Sea Scouts unit.
