Seaquin in 1964, before she became Seonaid

The Clyde Cruising Club journal published at least two logs of cruises in Seaquin - the boat that is now called Seonaid. The first, reproduced below, is a log of 12 days cruising the west coast of Scotland, and judging by the account it seems that the west coast of Scotland may experience a certain amount of rain and wind.

The second of Seaquin’s logs report the captain and crew daring to steer their ship through the silence of a Stornoway Sabbath. Possibly it was this sacrilege that brought an end to the run of sunshine - or as the skipper reports, ‘oh, how it rained’. For the benefit of non-Scots readers, ‘dreich’ - as in ‘Coll looked pretty dreich’ - is an old Scots word meaning dull, overcast, and drizzly. A word that probably gets quite a lot of use in Scotland.
