What a crazy idea it was to go fishing, pouring rain and limited time frame meant that we had to get up early, don major rain gear, rent boat and rods, motor out into the lake (and you must note that I am not a nautical person, so I had no idea what I was doing) where we unsuccessfully attempted to fly fish for the lake's trout. In any event, the rain DID stop very shortly after we began fishing, so there was that small comfort, and no one was injured or drowned. I envied our sleeping Emily and Jim. Admittedly, Jim probably could not have gotten out of bed after his evening with Barry studying the finer points of Scotch Whiskey (or so i suspect).
Upon our return to our home families, we collected our belongings and sadly parted company. In all sincerity, we all felt we had met some of the finest people possible and will miss them greatly. Alistair, Neil and Ken were our drivers for the Dundee area, where we exchanged to our new drivers from the Banchory-Ternan Rotary Club, John and Andrew. We had a sort of gradual changeover because Alistair remained with us to visit the Discovery Point exhibits. This is an anchored wodden ship thet took one of the first trips to the Antarctic and included Shackleton in its crew.
John and Andrew did a great job of leading us over the Cairn o' Mount (probably misspelled). We had lunch on the way. Casey had dicovered that Netherton (read Harley Davidson roots) was practically on the way. After a brief search, we found the original house of the Davidson family and saw that it was being renovated. What a great point for our presentation (which includes Harley Davidson as a main topic).
Upon entering Banchory, we stopped for a quick visit to the Feugh Creek, to look for jumping salmon, and the Dee River. At our presentations that night, at the Club meeting, only the team leader messed up again, missing the same point in his presentation. I guess he will have to "work on it" a little more. The team did great again. Tomorrow is another vocational day....let's see if the team can get their first vocational day reported here before I move on with the blog.
