And we’re off. Rowed eastward to the end of the beach and then returned westward, past the end of the beach,
past the cat and dog home and then into a minute bay next to the sewage works. The wind had risen a bit and I

It was amazing how much clearer the air is in this weather. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much detail in Fife across
the water – I could see the layout of the streets in the towns. Unfortunately my camera phone was unable to do
justice to the scene.
