What's the name of the yacht?

Ash

Windermere
Yacht is Courageous and if you look carefully, Ted Turner is having a brew on the aft deck with Dennis Connor and Charlie Barr.

Correct. Not going for the bonus point then?

It's the Panoramio pic you get if you click through from Google Earth and is Eilean na Cloiche although it's labelled as Eilean Dubh but it's been flipped horizontally and should look like this.



Took me a minute or two to realise what was wrong.

So - has it been flipped horizontally or is it yet another example of the effects of global warming, windfarms and Alex bloody Salmond?

I think they have just put the picture up the wrong way round because if you put a mirror alongside your screen it looks quite normal, at least it did until you put it up the other way round which makes it look as if someone has just flipped it horizontally.

The saddest part to all of this is that I can remember the days when the Silken One used to post pictures that he had actually taken himself and how times have changed. Reduced to Panoramio and Googlurth.

How are the mighty fallen.

I remember when Claymore used to go sailing . . .

I have sailed west from Oban so many times and didn't even know that this place existed. However, I have just returned from a week's sailing and concentrated on the Firth of Lorn, Sound of Jura and the sea lochs around. So many excellent wee places to sail into. Slartibartfast certainly made a good job of it around there, or did he only do Norway.

Pedalo?

How you going on about the penknife?

Well, I sat patiently at Belfast City last night, whilst Para's luggage was searched again and again .... he eventually forked oot £4 and got his knife sent hame.

I am well impressed by Ireland as a cruising ground even though we only visited Dunleaary and Ardglass on the way to Belfast!

Next stop in a couple of weeks, Troon, then Crinan followed by Caledonian.

so that's what you wanted the dinghy fer?

Re penknife ... One amongst us planted his penknife in the shrubbery outside les sable airport so having the kind G4S staff find it for me so I could post it, showed kindness and olympic civility and an unjobsworthery attitude much to be commended.

Ah that's better. My first instinct was Cloiche but didn't suggest it as the south side anchorage was all wrong.....
