WTF Craobh?
Helicopters clattering about yesterday.
Lots of cops on the pontoons around a 62 ft Halberg Rassay some in white suits. Allegedly.

Re: Interesting plans from Calmac
Given the state of many highland and island roads, there's little point in making any improvement in the links to/between the islands. I note the the recent royal visit to Campbeltown avoided the Rest and be thankful in a way that's not available to many locals or visitors. Indeed. It is rather sad...

Re: Lucys
Enjoyed a Friday night takeaway tonight, very good.
Walked past the pub without going in. Again.
I have heard they currently have a good chef though.

Re: The Untold Voyage, Roger D Taylor
Read a couple of his books, well written and very entertaining.
I like the feeling of cosy, totally self contained voyaging to extremely inhospitable places in a well found simple boat armed only with good seamanship.

Re: Knox spade or rocna?
FWIW.. Holding. - Nothing between them once set. Setting - I think in heavy kelp/weed the Spade is just ever so slightly better as it doesn't have to roll bar to get tangled if you are a bit less precise in where it lands.. It's also easier - just- to get the kelp off it on recovery. Cost - The Spad...
