Where is it?

Post by Clyde_Wanderer »

Took this pic while on our failed trip to Ireland a few weeks ago.
Popped in here to have some lunch and stretch the legs.

Have also managed to install software to convert all my old VHS & S-VHS video tapes to computer, should be some interesting stuff getting dug out of the attic.
Also came across this one while in the same area, my mate tries to wipe it out with his Corribee. :lol:

I'm pretty sure it's not Newtown Creek either.

It could be chapman's pool, if it wasn't for all the entire content of the photograph.

Bit of a blimey in a north wind. I made the mistake of going in, in the dark, with the wind behind me. Got a fright, but managed to turn around (remarkably without either hitting anything or running aground) and anchor in the bay to the south.

AFAIK, it's still a working harbour with fishing boats going in and out during the week. They used to prefer that leisure sailors visited at the weekend when their boats would be tied up.

Sorry aitchw, Eamonn posted his reply in Chewing the Fat, or Shooting a Line, or whatever it's called. It's Port Crannaich at Carradale in Kintyre.

Nice wee harbour; never seen it empty of fishing boats, so must have been during the week. At the weekends, yachts usually raft up to the FVs.
