1st June Tobermory

Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Great sail up from Loch Aline after a cloudy and damp start. Was witness to a world record attempt for a diver to stay under for 16+hrs . Unfortunately it was abandoned 20mins after we left due toa faulty valve.  Lovely sunny evening in Tobermory  ate at cafe fish  .

Rough night at Linnhe. 18th May

Now over in Loch Chorie water flat but very gusty and strong when it blows. Pam asleep (as had very little last night) me snoozing between fishing (nothing biting) and jumping up to witness the gusts

Port Appin 19 May 2013

Shake down sail ends at Port Appin with wine and whisky in hand :-)

7th Oct - Heading back

To ensure  i got back out under the bridge on what was a rising tide, i got up and headed off in the dark at 7.00am  - all else in Bed other than Gordon who joined me.  A degree of relaxation returned once i was back under that bridge, again seemingly very close.

I was worth the early start to catch the rising sun on the mountain ahead us. Motored all the way as there was not a puff of wind on what was a nippy clear morning.

A October Sky

Stopped at Shuna again where amazingly we we stripped most of the contents of the boat in to our two cars before PaM and Gordon headed off back to Ewen's by car and  Shahid and myself took Grania around to the yard   

Paddling Lessons

A well earned Treat - if rushed by some :-)

6th Oct - Glencoe - Loch Leven

Nipped back to Shuna to pick up Gordon and Shahid before heading up to Glencoe. Great sail in 15 Knot s of wind all the way until just before the Ballachulish bridge 16m clear at HAT but seemed very close when Grania went under which is also 16M + an Antenna.  Greta place grabbed a bouy at the Glenncoe sailing club and and a leisurely lunch of what was left on boat !!  Roles, tuna, mixed soup & spam  washed sown with red wine  - style or what !

Headed a shore later to the local hotel for Dinner ( more food !!) and  Drink - got kicked out due to a fire alarm, fire engines & the works turned up  - eventually got back in.  
  

Relaxed Skipper!

One last fish
