Re: Where will I keep my boat?
There's a few references in the article to "Peel Waters". Is this meant to be Peel Ports? I want them nowhere near the place

Re: How Hot?
I can do 8.5knts now I recalibrated mine . . .
As for the temp - I wonder if the very top layer of water is quite a bit warmer due to the sun heating it up. So what the ST60 sees isn't a real measure of much.

Re: How Hot?
Yep, I've seen 20+ consistently on the west coast - warmer outside of the Clyde. There's a marine heatwave apparently. I don't think this is a good thing.

whaur's the burdz?
There seem to be a lot more seabirds around this year, after the ravages of bird flu. Just me, or have the others noticed too?

Re: Shuna For Sale
There's nae windaes and maybes nae roof, so I can see how the castle offers access to nature, free air and natural light.

Re: Crinan Canal 2025 Opening / Restrictions
On specifics - point 3 is the main one for me too. It would be good to find out the proportion of dawdlers/sunday drivers vs those wanting to transit as quickly as possible. The marketing and organisation is towards those dawdling along (although the folks on the sea locks are a bit more clued up). ...

Re: Crinan Canal 2025 Opening / Restrictions
My experience of one individual on the board was that they were working their way up the tree of various Scottish govt quangos to impress the great and the good.

Re: Clyde Estuary - Charge for Leisure Vessels !!!!!!
The Scottish Government should use this example (the PP Clyde proposal) to show Peel Ports that in Scotland the government will regulate private companies who abuse their position, by amending the Clyde Port Harbour Order to exclude leisure craft less than 24m. I agree, but would PP sue the scot go...

Re: Clyde Estuary - Charge for Leisure Vessels !!!!!!
Digging into the details of the 1965 order could produce lots of ways to show that Peel Port are being selective with their interpretation and implementation of it I also spotted this. Lots of scope for excrement stirring if Peel Ports don't back down. On the point about the original intention of t...
