Perfect day for Cruising on Loch Ness

The ice on the canal has finally melted and this morning there was a light dusting of snow, add to this the sun shining on the calm and peaceful Caledonian Canal, along side the Jacobite Queen and it was absolutely beautiful. I am annoyed that we did not have a camera handy as it would have been an another amazing picture.
Today is one of the best days you could be out cruising on Loch Ness - the water is so still that you can see the reflection of the snow covered mountains - stunning.

We are all very busy today - lots of phone calls with recruitment enquiries, the new website is underway and should be live in 2 weeks and Rod is very busy with the exciting new Brackla project. We now have 4 sets of architects drawings for consideration - and so far there are two favourites which we all seem to be agreeing on.

Chaos in the Office - at Jacobite

You would think that in the quieter winter months we would all be taking it easy here at Jacobite - No!!
It was total chaos in our tiny office today, along with day to day routine work, we are working on the new summer brochure, a brand new website, planning our recruitment for the new season and also working on our exciting new Brackla project. On top of this Mark, our IT guy, who is very patient, was trying not to trip over us as he tried to work through a list of jobs that we had given him (a days work) . So as you can imagine by the end of the day we were speaking to each other through gritted teeth :)
It will all be worth it in the end, we will have a fabulous new brochure, an amazing new website and some great new seasonal staff joining our team....and tomorrow we will go into work and start the day as we always do with a big smile.
PS As I said I would in my previous post I watched Scotlands Winterwonderland and I saw our boat the Jacobite Spirit - a brilliant shot. Scotland looks so beautiful from above when covered in snow...we are so lucky to have such amazing scenery on our doorstep :)

Jacobite Spirit on Scotlands Winterwonderland

This morning I had a meeting with my coach Donald at Tisos cafe in Inverness. We were discussing this Blog when one of my colleagues Ali appeared - he is on his day off and is heading up the Cairngorms to climb a Corbett (which for those of you who don't know ) is a mountain between 2500 and 2999 feet high.
Ali asked if we had watched Scotland Winterwonderland last night on STV - because there was an amazing aerial shot of our very own Jacobite Spirit shown on the programme. I have not yet seen it but have recorded it and look forward to watching tonight. Ali tells me the scenery is stunning and it is well worth a watch.
