Lochender! You doin' that deliberately to make me homesick?

;D Second boat is the Unicorn <oldest naval ship afloat in the UK> and the next is the Discovery. Since the Discovery came back to Dundee, the Unicorn has played second fiddle and doesn't get the funding or prominence that the Discovery gets.

Looks like a mill pond! I must get down to the sea again.......I think I've already posted my only boat picture.
