Where is everyone?
We saw OYTs Alba explorer in the Sanda anchorage on friday/saturday, had a fantastic sail around the MOK yesterday - Sanda to Gigha in 4.5 hrs with some sunny spells for good measure, not a yacht in sight , only one coaster heading north. Now holed up in Gigha, sitting out some admittedly foul weather. Apart from us, Arminish bay is empty.

I was out for a week 01-07 April. There were a few yachts out sailing as well, so not that empty. I got chased by a CalMac ferry through the Sound of Luing and a cargo ship up the Sound of Mull, heading to Loch Aline. At Loch Aline there were 3 additional yachts, one of which went to anchor at the head of the Loch. Heading back down the Sound of Mull and yacht bashing to windward under sail was determinedly heading northwards and another yachts, motor sailing northwards in the Forth of Lorn. Craobh was not as busy over the easter weekend as I would have expected. My crew and I ate at LOTI before we drove home, about 6ish and it was quiet.
A lot of folks maybe have had to pay a lot of money over the winter for fuel bills, so may be recouping early season.
