Might get away with a few dry spells on Sunday, to finish off my deck cleaning. Saturday is a definitely a lie-in, then potter around at home day.

weather last weekend

Post by tom26 »

well we were out at the weekend and it was brilliant :D

moved from crinan to our boat's new home in linnhe and it was glorious - finished the canal on the saturday and a very quick sprint up to Craobh then Craobh to Linnhe on the Sunday - glorious, wind a wee bit too much in the north east but otherwise just brilliant

am really hoping that is not the best weather of the season!

I never met a chap with a fiddle offering bets, but it was a stunning weekend. We went from Dunstaffnage to Tobermory and back over the weekend, the easterly made it cool, but it was otherwise perfect sailing weather (and we got 8kts going up the sound).

We weren't the only ones:

Sunrise in Tobermory was stunning too:

Spirit of Fairbridge

Shard

Yes it was Spirit of Fairbridge ( or spirit of ambridge as my crew have rather cruelly named her). She looked splendid . Only 2 midges in the oitment over the weekend :
1. Getting sunburnt even with factor 40 on .
2. The new "facilities" block in Tobermory wont open until June.
