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.
