Maritime Bob

Mummy and I went to the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine today.  It was really good!  We both enjoyed it a lot.  There are lots of interactive displays which were great fun - I was rubbish at loading cargo, my boat sank!  I had a go at sailing a lifeboat on a simulator and made mummy feel rather ill.  We also got to go on board a 'puffer' to see what life would have been like for the men who worked the Scottish coasts and islands delivering coal and other goods before the roads and ferries took over.  

"Sailing takes me away to where I've always hear it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free."


(Christopher Cross - from Sailing)
