Difficult Decision

I'm thinking of buy an Admiralty Small Craft Folio for the Clyde. So here's my dilemma - do I go for the soon-to-expire version available from Amazon at £38.98 or do I preorder the new version, due out on 12 May and priced at a very modest £44,030.

What do you think, folks? Is it worth losing more up to date buoyage information to save £43,991.02? Both items can be sent with Free Super Saver Delivery, by the way, so that's not an issue.

Well, if you have to ask the price for the latest gear, perhaps one should consider taking up rowing at Hogganfield Loch, really what's it coming to these days.





I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps a floating thing on Loch Ken, what!

I think I would expect a few more charts than that for £44,030.00

I'd save the money for something else, as the buoys have all got their names painted on the side anyway.
Shame about the piers though, - unfortunately someone has removed all the handy blue and white signs that told this
callow youth where he was in the 60's.
For what it's worth, I think the single most useful buoy in the Clyde is the Hunterston outfall yellow chappie that will keep you off the rocks if used as a guide against cutting the corner.

I'd be expecting a wee bit o' sun for £44k as well, if that's inclused maybe you can get a few million people to chip in £1 each?
