You may have noticed I have been neglecting the blog for a few months. The reason is that I've been preoccupied with completing my next book: Thirty Years of Adventures in Search of the Past: The Outer Hebrides. Book design is underway, with publication by the Islands Book Trust tentatively set for May of 2024. As part of promoting the book, I will be guiding a cruise on the ship Hjalmar Bjorge, operated by Hebridean Adventures. As with the previous books, this one includes several stories that stem from experiences aboard Hjalmar Bjorge, both as a guide and a paying guest. The following link will take you to the Hebridean Adventures website that describes the cruise.

The first of the photos below is of Dun Shanndraigh on the island of Sandray, one of the historical sites we hope to explore.
