Extract from Ship's Log Sunday 25 June 1995
Halcyon II is becoming ship-shape. Provisions are more ordered, bunks and cushions have become comfier, the library is operational, and charts and navigational area are organised. The boat is basic and functional (no hot water, shower, fancy electrics) – but there is an honest feel, and clean lines. Mind you, it has not tipped up on this holiday yet. Freda has unfortunate memories of the trip out of Maryport – heaving and rolling, and Cassie is still not convinced about being a Ship's Dog.
Note: Cassie was our cute but wilful cairn terrier.
