Oot and aboot

Post by Superstrath »

Off for 10 days on Friday 4/8. If forecasts remain good, will venture round the Mull and northwards. Anyone about?
Feel free to drop in for a wee refreshment. On the other hand, if you see a pair of conjoined magnolia hulls coming over the hoizon, you might care to leg it pronto.

There's a Clyde Cruising Club Muster in Loch Spelve on Saturday that Parahandy, Muzzy and I might grace with our presence so we may be around Mull/Iona on Sunday - or perhaps down to Jura - all a bit weather dependent at present

Doubt we'd be as far as Mull by Sunday, but we could be at Gigha by then. After that, we'll just pootle about.

I thought these multihulls were supposed to be Ocean Greyhounds. "Pootling"....Harrummph

Harrumph yirsel. Is that a challenge, then? I believe that the good ship Claymore can make even Shard look like a greyhound. But you have the advantage of a patio. I've just the two myself.

Shard will never look like a Greyhound. Donald's ears are too big - now he might make it as a lurcher.

Anyway - if the wind is in the North we'll maybe head south....Just not sure where we can still take Parahandy.

I take it Big Rocky's not got internet access at the moment, or you wouldn't be so cheeky.

If the wind's from the North, and we both head South, we might meet at the Mull itself.

Now that would probably make one of us the windward boat so we'd best watch out.
Have you been into Craighouse?

Yes, I like it there, so it's probably going to have to suffer us at some point. Port Ellen is off the list after the last time. Sadly, the place is a dump. Just waiting to be regenerated, hopefully some day soon.

Hope to be around and about with Narc this weekend with no particular destination in mind, though Loch Aline looks appealing for wind direction and Cuan timings. Will keep a listen out on 77.

I'm planning to be in Loch Aline on Saturday night - along with a trimiran and 9 assorted mountaineers.
