These folks offer RYA crew and skipper instruction, either as a five-day cruise off Glen Coe or a nine-day cruise out to St Kilda and back.

Ooo! Ooooo! Ooooooo! Go to St. Kilda! Go to St. Kilda! Let me live vicariously through you! I've always wanted to go there ...

Oh my God, how cool!!! That would make an awesome vacation (and very different from the kind of touring you'd probably be doing in January).

Isn't Neta going to be green with envy? She slogs through the start of grad school and you sail into the sunset?

One reason I picked this--she's not a big fan of sailing. Not so happy about the motion. :-(

Sadly, the St Kilda trip is full. Maybe I can do that another time. THere's another local cruise open later in Sepember that I might do..

And, in fact, I'm doing their RYA competent crew course in late September.

Sailing off the west coast of Scotland in late September--it's like a dream come true! :-)

I'm doing their five-day training cruise! "Every course is different but we would usually expect to visit Oban, Tobermory, Coll etc as well as several quiet anchorages during the cruise."

Cruizing the west of Scotland in September--time to break out "Dolly and the Singing Bird" or "The Photogenic Soprano". :-)
