Highly recommended.

Went alongside for an omelette and a wee swallie on my way up to Tobermory this evening.

I took the first 2 posts to mean that the floating snack bar was in fact Msr. Shard, but I may be wrong.

It was indeed the good vessel Shard, licensed to purvey omelettes and fine drams.

Some BlueMomenters here in Stornoway just now, most notably Ocklepoint @ Aros Mor.

That sounds better than falling out with him

Or has he been doing his famous Pontoon Threestep?

Maybe next week....

Funny thing, since Nick started the thread, there seems to have more boats anchored there than usual. Mind you, it was in winds from the W/NW.

Do you think that helped the smell of delicious cooking pervade everything to the S and SE thus attracting a greater number of yachts than might normally be expected?
