Thanks for all the great replies. Sam

Please can anyone recommend a small grease gun which I can load seacock grease from a tin into it? We have blakes seacocks and they can be greased via a grease nipple on the top. I don't want to use the bigger grease gun that takes grease cartridges. Thanks Sam

Thanks for recommending my book ( UK and ireland Circumnavigator's Guide). Just to let you know there is a second edition out now. It has 69 new pages which covers where are the real gems to visit...

Thanks - A comment like that makes all the hard work writing my book and the article worth while - I hope that I can inspire others to enjoy our fantastic coastline. If you have any questions about planning do get in contact with me through my web site www.circumnavigation-uki.co.uk Regards Sam

When we last went through the crinan canal we paid £40 for a chap called Hugh who was there to open all the locks and close them, take our warps etc. It was great when there was just 2 of you and a heavy boat. Has anyone been though this year - how much does it cost? Thanks Sam

That is great news! Regards Sam

Just been up in Campbeltown and I can confirm that the pub Darnton Byron on Sanda will not be reopening according to the local talk there. Regards Sam

I went to see them arrive back Hull...it was fantastic to see them all and hear their stories. I had a friend on Uniquely Singapore...Go Singas. It will be nice to see them back at Royal Clarence. Sam
