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). Getting around to the north-eastern tip of somewhere on the western fringe 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. ;-)

-Will be out this weekend on Sunday 16 November 2008. The geohash of the day is in the water somewhere in the north Moray Firth (57.987498°, -3.350491°). Mmmm, I don't have a boat.
+Getting to water geohashes became possible in 2010, using Portknockie harbour as the launch point.
-So this time, a watery geohash is a Failed Geohash. Venue is now set for 57.724098°, -3.350491°, the first point for landfall south of the geohash.
+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 [[User:damianc|damianc]]'s birthday.
-I'll in the water with my wellies, stretching northwards the boundaries of what "landfall" can mean. I haven't checked the tides yet: I hope this doesn't mean that the water will be IN my wellies ...
