BLUEMOMENT

Apologies to those who've already seen this on another forum, but I thought cruisers would like to know that diesel is now available at Linnhe Marine, Dallens Bay, Appin (56N34.9’ 05W22.8’).

This is a convenient stop-over point for vessels heading to/from the Caledonian Canal, and costs (August 2006) £10 per night for a mooring. There is a shower (included in the mooring fee), and fresh water is available on the pontoon. Paul Zvegintzov provides a free water taxi service during normal hours, and the boat is available for use by customers out of hours.

During the summer season, we keep our boat there. It’s a good base for us, and reasonably priced. Sheltered from most winds, it can be a wee bit bumpy in strong winds from the NW, but nothing that's ever caused us a problem.

Have you been promised a discount?

What may well be "..a wee bit bumpy.." for you means that Hurley 22 crews need to be lashed into their bunks in a northerly and it doesn't have to be all that stong either.

Regrettably not, but, to be fair, his charges are so reasonable there's probably not much room for one anyway.

I wondered what you were doing when you said that you fancied an early night.

Jings Silkie - your website favorites list must be massive - and well organised - you always seem to find an appropriate link.

Can't really take any credit Ash since it was linked in The Lounge recently.
