      Thank you so much! Although the return Largs marked completing a loop deserving decent celebrations with all the bells and whistles, the journey continued until mid-November. Now I'm in Poland and Mark is in his home town, so our end-of season celebrations are yet to come, but we're looking forward to the reunion and proper sampling of a few wee drams 🥃😉🍾We appreciate your support and coming along for the journey and wish you all the best!

    Hi. I really enjoy your channel! Last summer we brought our boat from Isafjordur in Iceland to Lerwick and look forward to exploring Scotland and Ireland next summer. As a sailor I got terribly seasick. I tried everything - ginger, Dramamine (made me too tired), acupressure bracelets, aroma oils - you name it. I didn’t do the patch because I don’t want those serious substances in my body. What finally works beautifully for me are some pills Monique of @DrakeParagon turned me in to when we met them in the Faroe Islands. She got terribly seasick and swore by these pills. They are made and sold only in the Faroe Islands but the pharmacy I got them from said I could email them for more if I needed to. They are half caffeine and half Diphenhydraminhydroclorin which is an antihistamine used in products like Benadryl. I’m very sensitive to caffein but find this pill doesn’t make me speedy or tired. I can even take it just as I’m feeling queasy and they work. You can email Tjaldur@apotek.fo to order. Let me know if it works for you too!!! I hope this helps you, too. ❤

      We are planning to sail back to Iceland next summer but we'll be coming back down to Scotland for the winter!
      Thanks for sharing the story about seasickness - I (Asha) fed the fish on a number of occasions until the same Angel who saved you - saved me as well!!!! We met Drake and Monique in Stornoway in 2020 and she also gave me a box of those pills. Luckily we were on the way to the Faroe Islands so I stocked up on this miracle cure during our visit. We returned to the Faroe each summer since, and are going to do the same in 2023! I share my stocks with all the seasick sailors I meet as well! Thank you so much for sharing the contact details for the Faroese pharmacy, might come handy 🤗 I sometimes neglect to take the pills thinking I'll be fine but once I start feeling quizy I take them and within half an hour I feel normal again.
      Wishing you all the best and I hope our paths will cross 🤗♥
