Nice sunny morning, and fence posts are being erected across the gap in the backwall. A 6 ft high fence will be erected in due course. The Highland Valour tug leaves port after staying for two days. She is 3 years old, 78 m long and works in the oil industry. News comes through that the Arnish Fabrication Yard is now down to 2 employees, for a care-and-maintenance routine. Head out into town for a bit of shopping. Our guest went to Ness, but did not make it to Gearrannan as he missed the turning at Barvas. The tide is high again at 9 pm, but it is dark by then. No winnings on the lottery, again. Bermuda is anticipating Florence, due on Sunday or Monday.
