Final prep before she goes in

Went up with Dave and Pete to install the new batteries and go up the mast to get the old radar cable out as the connector had fallen to bits and the old cable was now to short to connect a new connector.   Also loaded up boat up with all its stuff! Marked out the new chain, and go the sails on etc..  Shame tides were not right to go in. Have to order a new cable for radar that will take a few weeks i guess. But will go in anyway.

New season 2012

Another season kicks off, and again must thank Gordon and Pete for helping Grania look as good as this;

 We went up 17 th March and stayed over night  Soooo Cold minus 3-5 the deck was an ice ring.  and the inside was not much better!! 

2nd Oct back to the Mooring

Another quiet day little wind motored back in a calm day.. dead still as you can see when we got back to the mooring

1st Oct - Loch A Choire on to Loch Aline

Last outing of the season.  Went for a quick dash across Friday night from the mooring to Loch Choire with Pam (my Pam) and Pete. This is a morning shot of the hills around us.

Loch Choire

Had more of a motor in mist to Loch Aline. Stayed at the new pontoons, which were very nice, and hardly any one there. But a bit pricey considering all the facilities are still to come £25!   Walked into town,  where we had a drink at the Loch Aline Hotel  - passed it's best perhaps !   Should have gone to the working mens clubs that's where all the action seemed to be!

The evening sun set was brill however...

28th August Oban Home

Wild winds 40knots got in shelter of Lismore and motored.  To wild for pictures that day so here is a little clip of the trip instead.
