:roll: Just noticed that one of our fellow forumites has a letter in this month's copy of PBO, No 540, October 2011.

Tested the keel on a rock to make sure that it wasn't likely to fall off. :wink:

When I tested to see if the rocks in Cuan were stable and limped back to Kilmelford, Ken McColl who owns the boatyard took me to one side and said "There's 2 kinds of yachtsmen around here - those who have hit rocks and those who haven't yet."

It would be interesting to survey the rocks which have never been hit. We could all go out in a chartered boat and dink the ones that have never been done in order to stop them feeling left out.

So Starter for 10

I've never hit the Bono Rock.

Bono rock is increasingly difficult to even find now-a-days. Even NLB isn't sure the damn thing is....

OK - fair point Donald.
Lets pick one that is easier to hit.

Ive never hit the Campbell Rock in Loch Melfort despite the fact that I went across it at VVVLWS according to the plotter

I thought moving the buoy made it easier!

I was told that someone actually managed to stand on Campbell Rk at LWS....

Can't imagine why other than because it was there.
