The Pensioner

I knew that PT and crew were heading back to Granton from Peterhead overnight and when I checked AIS in the morning, they were just off Leith. But totally lost in the haar. What a wonderful thing GPS is; being low tide they anchored up in Wardie Bay and the haar slowly lifted.
Later I went over to the boat and checked things over. And got caught helping young Ian bring his boat over rafting up. And that was pretty much my day.
And then a huge explosion at a hospital in Gaza; the Israelis are presumed to be responsible. Anger flares everywhere across the Arab world and Biden, who has just set off on some last ditch round of diplomacy is finding that the leaders of Jordan, Palestine and Egypt won’t receive him. 
Of course, if it is a misfired Hamas rocket as Israel says it is, and they have good proof… well...  that changes nothing. You choose your own truth in this conflict.
