BLUEMOMENT

Ach, chust a wee breeze of wind.

Helicopters clattering about yesterday.

Lots of cops on the pontoons around a 62 ft Halberg Rassay some in white suits. Allegedly.

What exciting times in mid Argyll. Last time it was a converted fishing boat surrounded in Otter Puddle.

Motorhome Stop - Don't expect it would be a traditional campsite as you imagine it but a simple 'Aire' which is basically a parking bay of a suitable size with some services provided for a fee. Easy to make the rules that no outside seating or cooking to take place so doesn't need to be any more im...

1. Mah boatie goes to her new owner today.

2. Lucy’s at Craobh opens today. (BYOB as she’s still waiting on the licence..)

In other news Claymore got an erection yesterday. (The vessel that is)

Fan Tastic!

FWIW.. Holding. - Nothing between them once set.

It's also easier - just- to get the kelp off it on recovery. Cost - The Spad...
