Well done that man.
The Clyde will be a doddle after the extreems of Loch Lomond.
The wind blows from one direction for more than 5 minutes and it keeps blowing too.
If you feel homesick for Loch Lomond you can always head up to Colintraive.

The Vega's really are nice looking boats, aren't they.

There'll be no stopping you now. Today the Clyde, tomorrow the world.

I've seen her in the car park - when is she getting wet?

Doh!! is that why it's been so quiet..... :? :?
I was going to link to a CC thread where listening out on 72 was discussed, but of course,now I can't find it.

Is she off the trailer yet? The winds have been too high to safely use the crane since she arrived on Tuesday.

I have a berth from the 1st April so I hope that she'll be ready to splash by then.

That's because the Chentlemen's intercourse usually takes place on 77.

Hmm. I'd assumed that it was in Claymore's aft cabin.

Glad to see Mistral made it to Kip safe and sound. Look forward to seeing you at some of the KCC musters.

We are currently looking at what tricky berth we can allocate you to test your berthing skills!!!!!
