I'm a landlubber so I am glad that the Aberdeen and Elgin graticules are not as watery as they could be (like Peterhead).

Getting to water geohashes became possible in 2010, using Portknockie harbour as the launch point.

After geohashing twice at the end of 2008, life has been busy. But the date of 11 September 2011 seemed a good day to geohash again, as it was damianc's birthday.

-Elgin UK is not the most challenging graticule in the whole of Scotland, only half of it being water (cf. Peterhead). I don't have a boat (yet) so getting to water geohashes are impossible. Geohashes on north-eastern tips of somewheres on the western fringe of the Elgin graticule will test my dedication. Inverness and Aberdeen graticules are also in reach so I'll be there too -- hope this isn't seen to be rude. ;-)
