I may be gone some time.
Today Troon, tomorrow the World, or at least the GreyTown en-route to Ardminish and all points West.
If I can get this
Y-Fi working and find a hotpot, I'll be in touch, otherwise you lot behave yourselves in my absence.
Ah, the soft Scottish rain. My wellies are already loupin' with excitement.

You can't miss it. It is just past the sand works. Which seems to be re-starting.
We went there for one night and very pleasant it was too. Odd pricing though, £2.10 per metre. Includes leccy. Water is available but pick a berth nearer the hose than we did. Oh and don't go on the hammer-heads, they are for BIG boats. Pontoon Peter comes down to extract the cash. The next night we went up to the head of the loch for a free shot in the lovely big muddy anchorage.

Ken, you're talikng about the Loch Aline pontoon, and yes, they are pumping out the sand mine and resurrecting the business...
I was talking about the much talked-about Oban pontoon - which isn't.
We're in Tobermory at the moment, probably Drumbui tonight then Dunstaffnage. The Soup-dragon has hurt her back and isn't in the mood to go any further - So Jim, no Skye I'm afraid.
We hope to go to the zoo in Ardfern for Thursday - I hear their new goat will be arriving then.
