52 Weekends by the Sea begins the exciting journey right around the shores of Britain at Cape Wrath in the top left corner of Scotland. From here we take you on an inspirational trip down the rugged west coast, through Wales, all the way to Cape Cornwall in Weekend 26.
In the top left corner of a map of the British Isles you'll find the most northwesterly community in mainland Britain at Cape Wrath and Durness. A few hundred souls inhabit an untamed territory in which it's easy to lose yourself, whether you want to or not.
This is a magnificent, mean and moody place where old tin sheds are kept on this earth by lumps of rock. There are two hundred days of rainfall every year, much of it horizontal, yet the climate is unpredictable; one day sea fog, the next clear skies. Four seasons in one day is not unusual. Even in July there's a distinct waft of peat fires in the air.
Remote Sandwood Estate in the highlands of Sutherland boasts undeveloped countryside and two of Britain's best beaches; the golden sands of Oldshoremore, reached easily from a single track road, and the distant arc of Sandwood Bay over two kilometres long.
Accessible only on foot, rugged Sandwood Bay is the perfect place to experience the natural high of wild camping.
Beyond Ullapool on the north west coast of Scotland there's a string of small settlements dotted around the beautiful Coigach peninsula; the scenery is breathtaking and people are few. It's an irresistible combination.
This most sparsely populated corner of Scotland is one of the oldest landscapes in Europe and part of the North West Highland Geopark that extends from the Summer Isles in Wester Ross through west Sutherland to the north coast.
If you're looking for a white-knuckle drive with jaw dropping views, head for the Bealach nam Bò, or Pass of the Cattle, in the spectacular highland scenery of Wester Ross, Scotland.
From Kishorn to Applecross, the single-track mountain road is bleak, dangerous and not for the faint hearted.
Starting at Kishorn, the road bristles with warning signs and a low level alternative is suggested for learner drivers, large vehicles and scaredy cats.
So who is going to drive? Passengers have permission to gasp at the views; drivers must have eyes only for the snaking road ahead. Otherwise it's curtains.
Some of Scotland's highest mountains rise in Knoydart, an untamed peninsula on the north west coast of Scotland. Wedged between the sea lochs of Nevis and Hourn, known as the lochs of heaven and hell, the magnificent 'Rough Bounds' of Knoydart feel like an escape to another world.
Crossing on a quiet, damp day in July there were just eight of us aboard the small boat, including a Danish couple who were enjoying the Scottish experience wearing all the wet weather gear they could muster, on loan from their bed and breakfast landlady; this is the wettest part of the Highlands.
It's not often you arrive at the station to be greeted by a chalk board declaring all 400 train tickets are 'Sold Out', but that's what happens at Fort William when the train in steam is the magical Hogwarts Express.
In Harry Potter films, the Hogwarts Express leaves London's Kings Cross Station from platform 9 ¾ and races through dramatic scenery along 'The Road To The Isles', the route of West Coast Railway's Jacobite train.
For two hours, from Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis mountain to the fishing port of Mallaig on the Atlantic Ocean, it's drama all the way.
Ardnamurchan, the Land of the Great Seas, is the furthest point West on the British mainland. Reaching the far-flung peninsula on the north west coast of Scotland is an adventure in itself but well worth the effort. The spectacular destination, around two hours drive from Fort William, the largest town in the West Highlands of Scotland, is the haunt of sea eagles, whales, golden eagles and red deer.
The remote Crinan Canal in Argyll and Bute is known as 'Britain's most beautiful short cut.' Opened in 1801, the waterway links the Sound of Jura and the West coast of Scotland with Loch Fyne and the Clyde Estuary. At Crinan harbour, a visit to the family run Crinan Hotel near the sea lock is a must. Frances Macdonald, one of Scotland's most highly acclaimed contemporary artists is at the helm with her husband, Nick Ryan. Together, they have made the hotel a heavenly oasis; staying there is a real treat.
If your idea of heaven is unspoilt villages, unpolluted air, lush pastures and quiet country lanes, then pack your bags for the Rhins of Galloway, a stunning peninsula in southwest Scotland.
Often described as 'Scotland's forgotten corner', there is a real sense of being in another world. The climate is mild and there are spectacular sea views at every turn. The Rhins feel like a heavenly island, just twenty miles long.
'The artistic centre of Galloway is Kirkcudbright, where the painters form a scattered constellation, whose nucleus is in the High Street, and whose outer stars twinkle in remote hillside cottages.'
Dorothy L Sayers
The Solway Firth, on the frontier of southwest Scotland and northwest England, is one of the most natural and least industrialised estuaries in Europe. While the serene landscape is awash with bloody history, today it's a great place for a quiet weekend.
Solway takes its name from the Norse, 'Sul wath', meaning muddy ford, reflecting the strategic importance of the crossing place used by Celts, Britons, Romans, Angles, Vikings and Normans.
West of the Lake District, there is superb coastal scenery around the distinctive red sandstone cliffs of St Bees Head. Along with some of England's largest seabird colonies, you'll find the simple pleasures of country walks, bike rides and buckets and spades on the beach.
The pretty village of St Bees has welcomed pilgrims in search of miracles for more than one thousand years. According to Medieval legend, St Bega, the holy daughter of an Irish King, refused to marry a Viking chieftain, jumped in her coracle and sailed alone across the Irish Sea to St Bees.
Much about this weekend on the Sefton Coast, within easy reach of Liverpool, is extraordinary, including one hundred spectacular iron men on Crosby Beach; the largest sand dune system in England; the awe-inspiring sight of prehistoric footprints on the beach and the weird sound of natterjack toads in the dunes.
Sculptor Antony Gormley's massive installation of one hundred figures, cast from moulds of his own body, stretches three kilometres along the Sefton coast. How you discover the iron men of 'Another Place', depends very much on the weather and state of the tide.
Three tidal islands, extraordinary bird watching, challenging golf and spectacular sunsets make the Wirral peninsula on England's northwest coast a special place to visit.
Twenty kilometres long and nine kilometres wide, the marshy Dee estuary, is one of the most important wetland sites in northwest Europe. The winter arrival of over 80,000 birds from Iceland, Greenland and the Arctic puts it in the top ten for over wintering wildfowl and waders.
Exceptionally high tides between September and March, bring mayhem to the marsh. You'll need to stake your place among twitchers along the shore to watch the gripping wildlife drama unfold.
On a beautiful evening, the splendour of Llandudno is magical; elegant hotels, dressed in seaside pastels, grace the north shore promenade, a necklace of white lights adds sparkle and exotic palm trees suggest that your weekend away is somewhere much further than the north Wales coast.
Llandudno is the dream-come-true of the influential Mostyn family. Using the 1845 Act of Enclosure, known in Wales as Deddf y Llaadrad Mawr, the Great Theft Act, they turned common land by the sea into a grand resort for the middle class. Gracious buildings and wide boulevards, fit for Victorian horse drawn carriages and cabs, were laid out on a grid pattern, to create a sense of airy refinement.
Welsh language and culture remain strong on the Llŷn peninsula, pointing out to sea like a witch's bony finger. This is a landscape of whitewashed farms in patchwork fields, deep country lanes and high hedges brimming with bramble, fern and wildflowers.
Footpaths and cycleways entice you to explore sandy beaches, picturesque harbours and a wide range of marine habitats.
Stir your creative spirit with a weekend in the vibrant Welsh seaside towns of Aberaeron and New Quay in Ceredigion. Bold splashes of colour, leaping dolphins and dramatic connections with Dylan Thomas make this weekend an invigorating experience.
The paint box town of Aberaeron is pure colour therapy, even on the dullest day.
Spend a Welsh weekend pottering around the quiet industrial heritage of the beautiful north Pembrokeshire Coast. Simple pleasures, mooching on secluded beaches and discovering one Britain's best preserved Bronze Age settlements, make this a great escape.
Laid-back Porthgain is gathered around a village green, close to the lovely harbour. In the nineteenth century the community grew around brickworks and two quarries, known as Jerusalem and Caersalem, which kept local people in employment until closure in the 1930s.
The crisp sea air is pure and the industrial harbour is quiet now but Porthgain is an atmospheric place; it's easy to imagine how the hillside must have resounded to the din of ships loading up with hard dolerite road stone bound for Ireland, the hissing steam crusher grinding slabs of rock into assorted sizes, the narrow gauge railway rattling back and forth over the headland and clouds of dust everywhere.
Magnificent West Pembrokeshire is all about the forces of nature.
Sea salt breezes carry a coastal symphony; the raucous chatter of seabirds, the thunder of rolling waves and the haunting moan of Atlantic grey seals in sheltered coves.
The coastal scenery of the Marloes and Dale peninsulas in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is spectacular. When you want to connect with the elements, this is the place to be.
Sublime beaches and an exhilarating circular walk around Stackpole Head in the southwest corner of Pembrokeshire, the UK's only coastal National Park, make this weekend perfect for time away with friends or family.
The ten-kilometre walk starts at Bosherston. Before setting out, visit the Olde Worlde café where Mrs Weston, or Aunty Vi to regulars, has been serving tea for over seventy years. In 2009 she received an MBE in recognition of her services to hospitality and tourism. Opened by her parents in 1922, the café exudes time warp charm.
The landscape of the Gŵyr, or Gower, peninsula, west of the city of Swansea, became the first of the UK's forty-seven Areas of Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1956. There's a distinct air of Welsh romance about limestone cliffs and hidden bays, ruined castles and wild horses on the salt marsh. Whatever the season, whatever the mood, time spent here is richly rewarding.
Leave the fast lane behind and escape off the M4 motorway in South Wales to explore Glamorgan's rich coastal landscape marked by ancient history, extraordinary geology and strange goings on.
Nash Point is an atmospheric place. On the beach, rock fall from near vertical soft cliffs appears like smashed digestive biscuits over wide wave platforms.
Behind the beach, chains of horses were hidden in a sheltered wooded valley to carry smugglers' contraband inland.
From Morwenstow in Cornwall, to the lighthouse at Hartland Point in Devon, the Atlantic coast is awash with deadly rocks, shipwrecks, and spectacularly weird geology - perfect inspiration for Robert Stephen Hawker, Cornish hero, opium smoker, poet and eccentric vicar of Morwenstow from 1834 to 1875. It's a dramatic place to visit for a weekend.
Back to school for surf lessons on Cornwall's Atlantic coast, where the teachers wear wetsuits, the classroom is a golden beach and the playground is the pounding ocean.
Surfing is booming although the scene has changed dramatically since the heady days of the Sixties and the Beach Boys' ''bushy, bushy blonde hairdos'. Now balding novices and silver surfers are just as likely to catch a wave alongside those sun kissed bleached blonde dudes.
The faded glory of a pioneering port whose industry shaped the nineteenth century world and mile upon mile of dreamy beaches make Hayle and St Ives Bay an intriguing combination.
The global significance of Hayle's industrial heritage is recognised by the town's inclusion in the Cornwall and West Devon World Heritage Site. Take a walk to discover Brunel's viaduct, the harbour, quays and canal so vital for trade; Foundry Square's handsome boom time buildings and Loggans steam powered mill, the largest listed building in Cornwall.
Between the tourist magnets of St Ives and Lands End, there's wonderful West Penwith, a wild, windswept place, strewn with the chaos of giant boulders, ancient stones, burial places and country paths shrouded in mystery. There's no doubting its appeal. The western extremity of Cornwall is an intriguing place to spend a few days.

It's a windy, chilly, blustery day where I live, which makes this quilt top look even happier than the bright colors already do! I pieced this quilt top on New Year's Day and it's been hanging in the closet (with a backing made and binding chosen) ever since.
The fabric is Scrumptious by Bonnie & Camille for Moda, and I believe this might be the first time I've used the current collection of theirs before another is released. (Ironic that I'm sharing it now that April Showers is available, but that's ok!) I used a pattern by Aneela Hoey called Crackle, which uses a layer cake. The quilt top came together really quickly and easily.
I had hoped to get more pictures, but the wind was threatening to carry it away so I'll have to take more when I finish it. The year so far has felt a lot like what the wind is doing in that photo – whisking me away through life's daily responsibilities and challenges. I'm really hoping to find more time to sew because I'd love to finish this quilt!
Speaking of finding more time, doesn't a Craftsy class sound awesome? We're giving away a free one. Enter here!
Thanks for visiting,

Gov. Bill Ritter is poised to sign the centerpiece of statehouse Democrats' economic development agenda, after the state Senate gave the last go-ahead Friday to Senate Bill 108, known as FASTER.
Ritter's office said the governor will sign the bill Monday beside an Interstate 25 interchange in Thornton.
But, in taking its final step to becoming law Friday, the Funding Advancement for Surface Transportation and Economic Recovery bill saw one last partisan spat over whether it represents bold political leadership that will benefit all Coloradans or whether it represents a shameless money-grab at a time when people can't afford it. And, on its 11th vote in the legislative process, the bill picked up its first, reluctant Republican supporter.
"What we have is the last, imperfect solution that is before us for getting our transportation house back in order," Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, said in breaking from his party. "And given that it is either this or inaction, I choose this."
FASTER will increase annual vehicle registration fees by $41 for the average car over a three-year period, and, in addition to a few other funding mechanisms such as a new daily fee on rental cars, is expected to generate more than $250 million a year to fix the state's crumbling roads and 126 bridges rated structurally deficient.
The bill also gives local governments the option of putting tolls on existing roads, but only if they receive the backing of all the communities that would be affected by the toll.
Democrats also have touted the bill as an economic booster, saying the construction funded from the bill will save as many as 8,000 jobs in the state and create thousands more.
"I think my team stood up with some political courage and got a really difficult thing done," said Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver.
But Republicans said, even with the bill mere days from becoming law, there are too many uncertainties surrounding it.
They questioned how FASTER money would be coordinated with federal stimulus funds and whether the state has enough projects ready to go to use the money efficiently. They pressed Democrats on specifics of which projects FASTER would fund and said they were unsatisfied with the response.
"The silence speaks for itself," said Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, calling the bill dressed "in the cloak of jobs."
"The truth is this bill has been rammed through the process at warp speed," he said.
Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Stacey Stegman said it will take at least a few months for CDOT to establish the administrative bodies created by the bill and sort through what projects to give first priority.
"Now's the time," Sen. Dan Gibbs, D-Silverthorne, said, "to take care of our bridges, to create jobs and to get down to business."

Knill pleased despite cup exit
Alan Knill was delighted with his Torquay side despite Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Swindon in the Capital One Cup first round.
Last Updated: 07/08/13 4:24pm
Alan Knill was delighted with his Torquay side despite Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Swindon in the Capital One Cup first round.
The Gulls conceded the only goal of the game after an eight-minute stoppage while former Robins striker Elliot Benyon, who had come on as a substitute, received treatment after being knocked out.
Knill said: "We got done by the goal soon after Benyon's injury. It was down to a lack of concentration. Elliot is all right but not as chirpy as he is usually.
"We are still a work in progress and it took us 20 minutes to get our game plan working."
Andy Williams struck the winner seven minutes from time at the end of a closely-contested match which looked destined for an additional 30 minutes.
Swindon, though, should have gone ahead in the 56th minute when Alex Pritchard was brought down by Lee Mansell in the penalty area, only for Gulls goalkeeper Martin Rice to push his resulting spot-kick away to safety.
And Knill reserved plenty of praise for Rice after being handed the chance to hold down the number one spot.
"Rice is developing all the time and deserved this first chance to become our regular," Knill added.
"I was not sure it was a penalty at first but when the goalkeeper saved it, it looked as if he had set it up for us to go on and win.
"I was delighted with the whole team, the work-ethic, but just gutted about the result."

The Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti (PPSS) has decided to organise a rally at Gobindpur village on Monday to reiterate its opposition to land acquisition for the mega steel project of Posco.
This comes at a time when the Odisha government is getting ready to acquire more land for the proposed project.
The rally is being organised to oppose the government's move to acquire another 700 acres of land in and around the village by creating a division among the villagers, PPSS spokesperson Prashant Paikray told The Hindu on Saturday.
The 700 acres of government land (coming under forest and non-forest category) had more than 500 betel vines, the main source of livelihood for the villagers, said Mr. Paikray.
The land also had about one lakh casuarina trees.
The rally will be held at Balitikira, the place where the PPSS had been continuing with a dharna since June 2011 to prevent the authorities from acquiring more land for the proposed steel mill.
Hundreds of people from the three gram panchayats of Dhinkia, Nuagaon and Gadakujang will take part in the rally.
"We will resist any move of the government to acquire more land for the project in order to prevent the loss of livelihood sources for thousands of people," Mr. Paikray said.
The State government, which had acquired 2,000 acres for the project, had decided to acquire another 700 acres to enable the company to establish a steel mill of 8 million tonne per annum capacity plant in two phases. The company had originally planned to set up a 12 million tonne capacity plant in three phases over 4,004 acres of land.
Mr. Paikray further said PPSS had also decided not to take part in the Rehabilitation and Peripheral Development Advisory Committee (RPDAC) meeting which the administration was planning to organise to discuss enhancement of the rehabilitation and resettlement package for those facing displacement.
"We have rejected the package, and we are firm in our demand for the withdrawal of the project from the area," said Mr. Paikray.
The State government had, so far, not been able to revise the memorandum of understanding signed with Posco in June 2005 which had expired in June 2010.
Agitators ask Patnaik government to withdraw project from locality
Hundreds of villagers staged a rally at Gobindpur village of Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district on Monday, to reiterate their strong opposition to a fresh move by the Naveen Patnaik government to acquire land for the proposed Posco mega steel plant project.
The villagers, who gathered at Dhinkia village despite heavy rains, told the administration and the company to refrain from making attempts to create divisions among the villagers.
They appealed to the State government to withdraw the project from their locality, instead of making preparations for acquiring land for the 12-million-tonne-capacity steel mill.
The meeting, which was organised by the Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, was presided by the group's leader, Abhay Sahu.
It was decided at the meeting that the residents of Dhinkia, the nerve centre of the anti-Posco agitation since 2005, would take the lead in strengthening the campaign against land acquisition in the coming days.
According to Sangram Samiti spokesperson Prashant Paikray, the villagers decided to hold similar meetings in some other villages of the area, such as Gobindpur, Patana, Nuagaon during the next few days, to prepare for a bigger rally at Batatikira at a later date.
The agitation will continue in a peaceful and democratic manner.
It was at Batatikira that the agitating villagers have been continuing with a relay dharna since June 2011.
Hundreds of children had taken part in the dharna initially, in order to prevent the administration and police from entering Gobindpur village to acquire land.
The Samiti decided to intensify its agitation as the State government was preparing to acquire 700 acres of government land that had more than 500 betel vines belonging to the villagers.
The acquisition of another 700 acres had become necessary for the government as it had acquired approximately 2,000 acres so far, and the company was in need of 2,700 acres to start construction of the first two phases of the proposed plant.

Making a "Little Bo Peep" or "Baa Baa Black Sheep" joke to Luke Wempe is a bit like making a "Wizard of Oz" joke to a Kansan.
"I've heard it all my life," Wempe said. "If you've got a new one I haven't heard before, I'd love to hear it."
For Wempe, an 18-year-old Lawrence High School graduate, raising sheep is a way of life and something he does well. This spring, he won a statewide Future Farmers of America award for proficiency in producing and marketing sheep, and in coming months he'll be judged against winners from other states in a national competition.
It's the first time in roughly a decade that a high school student from Lawrence has won a statewide FFA proficiency award, said Mark Rickabaugh, Wempe's former FFA adviser at LHS.
"He's a self-starter, I'll say that for him," Rickabaugh said. "He takes charge. He has a lot of initiative."
Wempe, the son of K.C. and Kari Wempe, lives on a farm south of Lawrence between Lone Star and Clinton lakes. He owns a share of his family's corporation, Syndicate Show Lambs, and helps care for a flock that includes five rams and 150 ewes, the breeding females.
Each year the ewes give birth to between 200 and 250 lambs that the family markets throughout the year. Some are bought to be shown at livestock shows, but many go to market.
"I don't eat sheep. It's one of my little quirks from being around them my whole life," Wempe said. "It's not going to make me all sentimental if I see someone gnawing down on a leg of lamb or something; it's just never seemed appetizing to me."
Luke Wempe on the secret of his successful sheep operation
Raising sheep involves daily farm chores such as feeding, watering and dispensing medications, but for Wempe it also means marketing the sheep through the Internet and building relationships with buyers.
He won the state FFA contest by submitting an eight-page application that described the business aspects of his farm, including detailed financial records of his operating income, assets and liabilities.
"We sell literally across the nation," he said.
This summer, Wempe is working as a part-time producer at KLWN radio and will attend Seward County Community College in the fall on a livestock-judging scholarship. He plans to major in broadcast journalism and possibly in advertising, but he said he would stay involved with the family farm.

|Prof. Joseph Marichal Second Cabin Passenger Saved
|[No Picture Provided]

|12 August 1916 (age 39) Somme, France
|Age on Lusitania
|Traveling companions
|- Jessie Marichal (wife) - Eve Marichal (daughter) - Phyllis Marichal (daughter) - Maurice Marichal (son)
|Rescued by
|Wanderer (Peel 12)
|Kingston, Ontario, Canada
|Jessie Emerson (? - 1916, his death)
Early Life
Marichal was born near the French-Swiss border near the town of Vezun in Haute-Saône and graduated from the Sorbonne with a degree in European languages. Upon leaving the university in 1902, Marichal was drafted as a second lieutenant into the French army and stationed at Lille as part of the 8th Regiment.
In trouble for love
At the time, Marichal was engaged to an English girl, Jessie Emerson, and got into trouble. One time he forged for himself a weekend pass, and another he married without his colonel's permission. As a result, Marichal was summoned before a military tribunal and was invited to resign his commission in 1908. While what happened to Marichal was not truly a court-martial, it would later prove damaging to his record.
Life in Canada
Marichal and his family emigrated to Canada afterwards and in 1912 took up the position as a lecturer in Romance Languages at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He resigned from this position in April 1915 and booked passage on the Lusitania to reestablish his family in Birmingham, England. At the time, his family consisted of his pregnant wife Jessie, daughters Yvonne and Phyllis, and son Maurice. They had booked the Lusitania in preference of a fast ship over an American one.
On the day of the disaster, Joseph Marichal and his family were sitting down to lunch in the second cabin dining saloon when the torpedo struck. What followed was another explosion "similar to the rattling of a machine gun for a short period." From his experience in the French Army, Marichal had deduced that a second torpedo had set off ammunition carried onboard. The following is from his testimony at the inquiry:
|2056 (Cotter): You state that you thought that some ammunition caused a second explosion? (Marichal): In my opinion, yes. 2057 (Cotter): Have you ever been in the vicinity of a steam pipe when it has burst? (Marichal): Yes. I know what a steam pipe explosion is and what a boiler explosion is. 2058 (Cotter): The effect of a steam pipe explosion would give a rattling sound, would it not? (Marichal): Yes, but not anything of the magnitude of that one.
Travails to reach home
Their boat landed in Queenstown between 8:30 and 8:45 that night. They were wet, cold, and hungry and had to wait two hours in the Cunard Company offices before "having the privilege . . . of telling our names, where we came from, whether we had passports or not, and finally being directed to a hotel." At 7 the next morning Marichal went to the Cunard office again to find out when the first train to leave Queenstown was, but as the office didn't open until 9 "under any circumstances," Marichal had to wait. Marichal was told that the first train to leave Queenstown was at three that afternoon. Marichal then asked if his family could obtain any money or clothing as they had lost all of their belongings in the sinking. He was told that the company "would not even lend me £1." Marichal then tried local stores and was told that he needed a written order from Cunard. Marichal went back to the Cunard office where after much hassling he was able to get a few supplies, but when it came to purchasing a coat for his pregnant wife, "I was told I had exhausted the amount of credit given to me[.]" The next day Marichal and his family lined up at the train station about about 2:30 p.m. to buy tickets, but as the line was so long they were not able to purchase their tickets until 4 or 5 that afternoon. They would have to wait until 8:30 for the next train. The Marichal family was able to procure space in a third class compartment, and they reached Dublin at 4 that morning. Stopping at Dublin's Grosvenor Hotel, they were given "a single room with two beds from 5 to about 8 in the morning; one egg each, five cups of tea, bread and butter for the sum of 14s. 6d.; and they knew we were survivors of the Lusitania." Marichal and his family finally reached Birmingham at 7 the next evening, "two days and two nights without any help from the Cunard Company in the condition in which we were."
Continued misfortune
Jessie Marichal miscarried as a result of the disaster and was an invalid for sometime afterward. As the family was broke, the children were separated from Marichal and living on the charity of the Birmingham City Council. Marichal then wrote to the Cunard Company threatening legal action unless he received substantial compensation. He added that if he could file a claim against the German Government he would do so as well.
Reputation smeared
On 1 July 1915, Lord Mersey held an additional session of the inquiry into the Lusitania disaster at the Westminster Palace Hotel. Perhaps Mersey feared that if he did not call Marichal, the German Government, among others, would be able "to cast doubt on the breadth of evidence taken by the inquiry" (Preston, 328). Marichal did not have his own counsel and was thus not treated to kindly with regards to his claims, especially on his allegations that the discharge of ammunition was what caused the ship to sink so rapidly:
(Cotter): . . . this gentleman has made a general statement about the crew, the company, and everybody else, and he seems to have a grievance. I do not know what effect it may have on the Inquiry, but I do not want it to get into the press that what he says are facts . . .. . .
2117 (MacMaster): Did you send anything to the press with regard to your misfortunes? (Marichal): No, I should not do that while the matter was the subject of inquiry.
2118 (MacMaster): I mean, up to this time you have done nothing of the kind? (Marichal): Not yet.
2119 (Mersey): You intend do, I rather gather? (Marichal): It depends on the result of the Inquiry, my Lord.
. . .
2145 (Mersey): I am very sorry it is told you, but I do not believe you. If you tell me that that language does not mean that you wanted money in order to keep your mouth closed, I say I do not believe you? (Marichal): That is your misfortune; but it did not mean that. I meant that I should take action against the [Cunard] Company immediately, and should produce more evidence. I have some more evidence.
My impression is that you were exclusively bent on causing some sensation which would divert attention from very serious allegations against the Cunard Company. Had it not been so it was clearly your duty if convinced that I was untruthful while under oath to have had me prosecuted for perjury and not to insult me . . .Marichal asked Lord Mersey to rehabilitate his character when he delivered his judgment, or else he would continue his action against Cunard. Marichal's actions disturbed the British Government so that it made inquiries into his background. 8 July the British Embassy in Paris, France received a reply that was forwarded to the Exchange Telegraph to almost every English newspaper. Referring to Joseph Marichal of Birmingham as Jules Marechal of Soho, the papers reported that Marichal had been found guilty by court-martial of brawling and concealing his identity. Two weeks later he was cashiered from the army and then was convicted of fraud. Apart from maximizing his offenses it had updated them by over ten years in a gross distortion of the truth. Professor Joseph Marichal never received any compensation. He was killed in action at Hemwood in the Battle of the Somme on 12 August 1916 while serving as a private soldier in the 44th Infantry Regiment. In doing so, France awarded him the Croix de Guerre. Marichal's middle name has sometimes been recorded as "Pierre," though a relative has said that this was not the case.

Gifted Amateur Boatbuilder Chris Perkins has laboured during some of the most difficult boatbuilding weather to produce the prototype of the new RAID41 (this is the building photoset.
It is designed as a one person boat for distance cruising. Once I finish the detail plans, of course.
Anyway Brian Pearson, the owner of the boat has just been to pick it up and bring it to warmer climes.
From Brian
Trim is home!
Trailer and dolly worked great. 670 miles on a trailer and all seems well when I looked her over. She sits very low, sled like. Rather than all the weight on the keel and bouncing from side to side on the trailer bunks as per wine glass shape, she just sits there all square and steady.
Great trip from Yorkshire up to Ullapool with my brother-in-law. 800 mile round trip in the day. Fantastic sunshine, quiet roads, wonderful scenery.
Chris did a terrific job, so I will try to finish her as well as I can. One more coat of epoxy, then three of Epifanes two pack varnish.
She looks terrific, sort of long and chiselled. Very different from anything else. Particularly nice from the cockpit with the long sweeping bows flowing off into the distance.
I agree … I am very happy with the appearance, nicely set off by Chris's neat timberwork.
Brian was going to paint her … but I think he will be tempted to keep her varnished as long as possible – she does look so nice.
My BETH sailing canoe design shares some appearance .. and she looks rather nondescript like this, but put the masts up and she looks very nice and with the sails up on the water … rather gorgeous and lots of attention.
She is also a box like this!
Brian will be rigging her and trying to get her ready to sail at the Beale wooden boat event supported by Watercraft Magazine.
Bless their cotton socks!
The RAID41 website is here and the best discussions are here on the OZ woodwork forums.
The design is meant to be flexible and fulfil a range of needs being built as a lightweight flyer or a slightly more sturdy Expedition boat. Important to keep her light though! She is certainly narrow enough to be roofracked, but not sure about the overall weight yet. I expect around the 140lb range.
Crossed fingers.
Chris has been great about feeding back through the building process and we have nutted out some simplifications that will save quite a bit of labour and solid timber.

Aaron Sorkin, Todd Phillips Trash the Writers Guild of America in Front of WGA President
Hollywood is a notoriously phony town. Everyone bends over backwards to kiss each other's ass, but the moment someone turns around to leave the room, they're likely to get a knife if their back. Of course, I live in Bakersfield (a very close suburb of L.A.), so I'm basing that statement on episodes of "Entourage." But still, Tinseltown is full of rats!
That's why it's nice to see Todd Phillips and Aaron Sorkin talking trash right to someone's face. Rather than bitch and moan in an interview and then claim their words were "taken out of context," the pair took the Writers Guild of America to task in front of the WGA West Coast president, John Wells. The heated exchange took place at the THR Awards Roundtable, and made for a very uncomfortable situation. Well, uncomfortable for John Wells, not for slobs like us sitting in our underwear watching from home, so enjoy the video. (THR via Movieline)

Federal legislation provides credentialing organizations a golden opportunity to gain immunity for their decisions
A Potent Weapon: Federal Peer Review Immunity under HCQIA
THE proliferation of managed care has compelled all health care providers to participate. Physicians who are not part of a practice group with managed care contracts or who aren't preferred providers with multiple managed care organizations are doomed to extinction. To achieve and maintain those relations, health care providers must be in good standing with both the managed care organizations and the acute care facilities at which they maintain privileges. Physicians who lose hospital staff privileges for quality of care reasons risk the immediate termination of managed care contracts. As the stakes surrounding physician credentialing have risen, the providers' responses to adverse credentialing actions have escalated. These responses-usually in the form of claims of antitrust violations, intentional torts and discrimination-have focused attention on federal and state peer review immunity laws. When properly applied, peer review immunity is a powerful defense for credentialing entities and an almost insurmountable hurdle to individual health care providers.
The best-known and primary source of peer review immunity is the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§ 11101-11152 (HCQIA). Enacted to encourage the health care industry to conduct meaningful peer review, the statute's immunity provisions have been expansively interpreted and applied by the courts. Simply stated, the act provides near complete immunity to claims for monetary damages arising from peer review actions. However, to qualify for immunity, several statutory threshold requirements must be met.
A. Professional Review Action
In order for credentialing or peer review decision to qualify for immunity under HCQIA, it must be a "professional review action," which is defined in 42 U.S.C. § 111591(9) as:
an action or recommendation of a professional review body which is taken or made in the conduct of professional review activity, which is based on the competence or professional conduct of an individual physician (which conduct affects or could affect adversely the health or welfare of patient or patients), and which affects (or may affect) adversely the clinical privileges, or membership in a professional society, of the physician.
In 42 U.S.C. § 11151(11), the statute also defines "professional review body," as:
a health care entity and the governing body or any committee of a health care entity which conducts professional review activity, and includes any committee of the medical staff of such an entity when assisting the governing body in a professional review activity.
In several recent decisions, courts have considered challenges to the applicability of the immunity based on arguments that the action at issue was not a professional review action.
In Burney v. East Alabama Medical Center 1, an Alabama federal district court held that a letter sent to a credentialed physician advising him to comply with certain peer review criteria in his practice was a professional review activity. The court found that preliminary investigation and fact finding that lead to professional review actions are in fact professional review activity and therefore eligible for immunity. The court cited Matthews v. Lancaster General Hospital 2, in which the Third Circuit held that "professional review activity" includes preliminary investigative measures taken in a reasonable effort to obtain the facts relevant to a possible change in a physician's privileges, and Fobbs v. Holy Cross Health System Corp. 3, in which a California federal district court stated that "professional review activity" means the investigative process during on which a professional review action in based.
Conversely, in Ehlen v. St. Cloud Hospital 4 , the Minnesota Court of Appeals concluded that a hospital's enactment of a rule requiring all of its staff urologists to be available to treat at the hospital within 30 minutes of a request was not "professional review activity." The court reasoned that because the rule applied to all urologists at the hospital, not just to the physician challenging the credentialing action, it was not "professional review activity." Accordingly, no HCQIA immunity applied, but the court went on to find that Minnesota state law provided immunity for enactment of the rule.
B. Safe Harbors
Once a determination has been made that a challenged peer review action is a professional review action, immunity under HCQIA is available if the four safe harbor provisions set out in 42 U.S.C. § 11112(a) are met. These four provisions are that the professional review action was taken:
(1) in a reasonable belief that the actions was in furtherance of a quality health care,
(2) after a reasonable effort to obtain the facts of the matter, (3) after adequate notice and hearing procedures are afforded to the physician involved or after such other procedures as are fair to the physician under the circumstances, and
(4) in the reasonable belief that the action was warranted by the facts known after such reasonable effort to obtain facts and after meeting the requirements of paragraph (3).
1. Reasonable Belief
The first statutory requirement or safe harbor for immunity-reasonable belief that the action was in furtherance of quality health care-has been interpreted broadly. Without exception, courts have held that this provision is judged by an objective, not subjective, standard.5 Claims that credentialing decision makers have been motivated by personal animus or bias are insufficient by themselves to defeat immunity under HCQIA. Allegations that business peers acted for impropercompetitive reasons also have been roundly rejected. In Austin v. McNamara, a California federal district court noted that Congress initially considered and rejected a "good faith" standard for professional review actions. Without exception, allegations of a defendant's bad faith will not defeat immunity.
2. Reasonable Effort
The second requirement-reasonable effort to obtain the facts-has been satisfied in the great majority of published cases by a showing that a representative portion of a physician's practice had been examined and that the examiners had satisfactory expertise in the involved specialty area.
Among the facts cited by the courts affirming reasonable efforts to obtain facts in peer review are broad practice reviews (that is, a large number of cases extending over a reasonably long period of time), review by committees whose members include at least one specialist in the involved are of medicine and whose members do not include a significant number of economic competitors, the involvement of outside consultants (preferably with teaching experience or experience in heading a department of the involved specialty at another institution), and multiple levels of review of the peer review decision.
A rare published opinion concluding that immunity was not available because of the defendant's failure to make a reasonable effort to obtain the facts is Brown v. Presbyterian Healthcare Services, from the 10th Circuit. A hospital terminated a staff physician's privileges after another staff member reviewed three cases handled by the credentialed physician, and a three-physician panel reviewed two of her cases. The termination was based not on quality of care reasons but on the physician's failure to comply with a second opinion requirement. The hospital also advised another physician that if he affiliated with the credentialed physician, the hospital would not recruit him for a position with it.
Holding that a reasonable jury could conclude that the panel's review was unreasonably restrictive and not taken after a reasonable effort to obtain the facts, the court rejected the defendant's assertion of immunity.
3. Notice and Fair Hearing
HCQIA sets forth in detail at 42 U.S.C. § 11112(b) and (c) the specific procedural requirements of a peer review process that will be entitled to immunity under the third requirement. In a nutshell, the statute requires that a physician be notified of a proposed adverse action and the reasons for the action; the notice must indicate that the physician has a right to a hearing, which may be requested within not less than 30 days; and the physician must be advised of the hearing procedure, including what witnesses will be called. The statute also specifies who can be the decision maker at the hearing, that the physician may be represented by counsel at the hearing, that the hearing will be recorded, and that the physician may call and cross-examine witnesses and present evidence. The statute also requires a written report of the result of the hearing.
It is peculiar that the notice and fair hearing requirements of HCQIA are less stringent than those of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and therefore than most hospital medical staff bylaws. JCAHO requires, among other things, a fair hearing procedure and an appeal process. All JCAHO-accredited institutions include an appeal process in their medical staff bylaws. HCQIA, on the other hand, has no appeal process requirement.
This could give rise to the anomalous situation wherein a hospital might violate its own bylaws but still be entitled to HCQIA immunity. In fact, this situation was commented on in Johnson v. Greater Southeast Community Hospital Corp.10 As a practical matter, if a hospital complies with HCQIA but violates its own bylaws, a cause of action for breach of contract may arise, and this could entitle the credentialed physician to injunctive relief.
Although HCQIA's notice and fair hearing requirements are straightforward and less rigorous than those of JCAHO, there have been several credentialing cases in which hospitals were denied the immunity defense prior to trial for failing to comply with this HCQIA requirement. For example, in Islami v. Covenant Medical Center, Inc.11, the federal district court found that a peer review proceeding did not comply with either the hospital's bylaws or HCQIA in that evidence was presented in the credentialing hearing without the physician's being present and without a record being made. In Brader v. Alleghany General Hospital12, the Third Circuit ruled that HCQIA immunity would not be available to a defendant hospital if it had denied the plaintiff physician an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses that testified against him, as he had alleged.
Although HCQIA does not require significant advance notice of a proposed credentialing action, summary actions are permitted under the statute in the case of emergencies involving "imminent danger to the health of any individual," and none of the notice and hearing provisions apply to privileges restrictions shorter than 14 days. 42 U.S.C. § 11112(c).
4. Reasonable Belief Action Warranted by Facts
The final safe harbor for HCQIA immunity is that there be a reasonable belief that the action taken was warranted by the facts known. Again, an objective standard is applied. Bad faith is immaterial, with the sole consideration being the sufficiency of the basis for the hospital's actions13.
Generally, as long as the other three safe harbors have been met and the final action is supported by the majority opinion of the reviewers, the courts will conclude that the credentialing action was reasonably warranted by the facts. The courts do not view their role as being one to substitute their judgment for that of the hospital's governing board or to reweigh the evidence regarding the termination of medical staff privileges. 14
Although the immunity provisions of HCQIA are broad, they are of significant impact only if they can be applied prior to trial-that is, by motion. In fact, Congress intended the defense of immunity to be raised as early as possible in the litigation process15. To facilitate the early consideration of immunity "unless the presumption is rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence." This statutory presumption alters basic summary judgment motion practice in federal and most state courts in that it essentially places the burden of production or proof on the party opposing the motion raising the immunity defense16. On court has noted:
… the rebuttal presumption of HCQIA… creates an unusual summary judgment standard than can best be expressed as follows: "Might a reasonable jury viewing the facts in the best light for [the plaintiff] conclude that he has shown, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant's actions are outside the scope of § 11112(a)."… the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that the peer review process was not reasonable17.
In essence, once the defendant shows that the credentialing action was a professional review action, the burden of proof to defeat immunity-that is, that at lease one of the safe harbors was not met-rests with the plaintiff. In most instances, that burden cannot be satisfied.
While the immunity defense afforded under HCQIA is, without a doubt, formidable, it is not absolute. There are several statutory exceptions. First HCQIA immunity does not apply to civil rights claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 2000 et seq. and § 1981 et seq. Second, although the immunity will attach to a private antitrust claim, it does not apply to governmental antitrust prosecutions. Third, the immunity covers only claims for monetary damages. It is not a bar to claims for injunctive relief18. However, the courts uniformly have found that HCQIA does not create a private cause of action for injunctive relief when physicians have sought to rely on it to secure and injunction prohibiting certain reports to the National Practitioner Data Bank or halting various adverse credentialing actions.
Last, if immunity is deemed applicable, HCQIA provides in 42 U.S.C. § 11113 for the award of attorney's fees to the prevailing party if the safe harbor provisions of Section 1112(a) are met and the plaintiff's claims were frivolous or otherwise without merit. While courts generally are reluctant to assess attorney's fees against a losing party, there have been several published opinions doing just that. In Sklaroff v. Allegheny Health Education Research Foundation19, a federal district court in Pennsylvania assessed attorney's fees and costs of approximately $145,000 against a physician who had challenged the suspension of his hospital admitting privileges. In Addis v. Holy Cross Health System Corp.20, the Seventh Circuit reversed a district court decision that denied the recovery of attorney's fees, holding that the award of fees was not dependent on securing HCQIA immunity.
The immunity provisions of HCQIA are easily attainable by a credentialing entity, assuming it acts reasonably in its peer review process. The statutory requirements for immunity are clear and often consistent with a hospital's own internal bylaws. HCQIA creates a rebuttable presumption in favor of immunity, which allows the issue to be resolved before trial and creates a substantial evidentiary burden for parties attempting to avoid immunity.

ask and you shall receive, best blue water sailboats, bristol channel cutter 28, dream ships, falmouth cutter 22, shit or get off the pot, the universe
Just when I think life can't get any better the universe is once again calling my bluff. A beautiful Bristol Channel Cutter 28 has literally fallen into my lap.
The only question on my mind is do I really want a bigger boat. For all the bitching and groaning I do about winter and not having a reliable heat source on Sookie I have done little in the interest of marketing her for sale. I know she is the perfect boat for me but so is the Bristol Channel Cutter 28. Six more feet plus a few in beam would certainly make for extra space to roam but I would also be nearly doubling my displacement and need to find a larger slip.
I'm walking out the door to visit the coast and when I come back in a few days I have to give my answer. Is bigger really better? Can I single hand a 37′ boat and do I want to? Will the romance of sailing be diminished? Do I really want to work on all that extra wood? Can I turn down what may be a once in a lifetime offer on a boat?
I've never been fond of now or never proposals but have also lived to regret not jumping onboard when the gravy train pulls through. Much to think about and a rainy weekend on the coast completely unplugged is just what the doctor ordered. What would you do?
"Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door."

Don Pedro Jaramillo Shrine
Don Pedro Jaramillo, was a curandero, or faith healer from the Mexico-Texas region. He is known as "the healer of Los Olmos" and "el mero jefe" (English: the real chief) of the curanderos.
Jaramillo was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico to Tarascan Indian parents,[3] and died at an unknown age in Starr County, Texas in 1907. Jaramillo first came to notice when he arrived at the Los Olmos ranch near Falfurrias, Texas and he announced he was a curandero and began treating the Mexican families in the region. At the height of his career, families from as far away as New York would travel to seek help from Jaramillo.
Jaramillo's story as a curandero begins when he was suffering from a nose ailment and as a cure, daubed his nose with mud at the edge of a pool. Three days of this self-prescribed treatment cured the ailment, however it left Jaramillo with an identifying scar on his nose. On the third night of this treatment, Jaramillo believes he heard a voice telling him God had given him the power to heal. Testing such power, he prescribed a tepid bath to his master which healed his ailment.
The first accounts of his cures and powers were collected and printed in 1934 in Spanish, they were later in 1951 translated to English. There is a shrine in Falfurrias at his burial site.
In many of Jaramillo's treatments the number nine plays a prominent role, such as prescribing treatments often for nine consecutive night, or in quantities of nine. The tales of such treatments include stories of people who did not follow his instructions or changed his prescription and failed to recover, leaving only those who followed his treatments exactly as prescribed as achieving complete recovery. Jaramillo's cures were often miraculous in nature, even to the point of curing paralysis.
Water has also been identified as a central theme in Jaramillo's cures, often requiring the ailing person to drink water for a specified length of time, or bathing in water a certain number of days.
Other abilities
Some of the tales portray Pedro Jaramillo as clairvoyant. He would know inherently if someone was lying about an illness or ailment. In one story he knew of a conversation that took place without him present. In Mexican culture, Jaramillo is displayed prominently in adorning homes in the form of paintings and statues.

SAM Lord
Sam Lord, King of hearts is based on an actual person, who lived on Barbados in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The walls of Sam Lord's Castle, a tourist attraction on Barbados, are covered with life-sized paintings of beautiful women. Why, other than his having been a real ladies' man, would he have such a gallery of women in his home? Thus, Sam Lord, King of Hearts was inspired.
Sent to Barbados as an indentured servant, Sam had no intention of being anyone's slave. And, indeed, in my account, he is anything but a slave. That is, in the normal sense of the word. But, he is a slave to his burning desire to not only become wealthy and powerful, but to know many women intimately.
Surviving many challenges to his dreams, in the end, even though a rascal, Sam becomes a rascal we can all love.
