BLUEMOMENT

My first time in Ardinamar was in 1969, when I was a teenager, crewing on a motor yacht called Marona, owned by Don Maclachlan. At the time I thought he was a very old man, which is why I was surprised to see his obituary in the Herald newspaper 35 years later. We went ashore to pay our respects to ...

Not much obviously. It's back.

Price now £378, sadly.

Cape Wrath?

Edit: Oooops sorry, I missed the previous post.

Brilliant news! Delighted to hear it.

Our four week cruise last year (2018) was mid June to mid July, and plagued by a severe lack of wind. We went from Craobh to Canna, where we assisted an unfortunate gentleman who attempted to pass between our stern and the ferry pier, and came to a sudden halt on the reef on a falling tide. All good...

Portpatrick?

Au contraire I'm apparently in good standing on TOP but Mountain's Lounge access seems to have been suspended though. He's posted a few times on SB but hadn't been heard from for 3 days. I only suggested a politics forum because others seemed so inclined - 'twasn't me who mentioned it first. Please...

Port Ramsay (Lismore)
Kentra Bay
Garbh Eilean anchorage and Laudale Narrows, Loch Sunart
Salen, Loch Sunart
Cragaig Bay, Ulva
Lagavulin

- mostly with the aid of Antares

I presume the toilet and showers are close to the swimming pool? Honestly - I'm not part of the Campbeltown Tourist Board. (*must visit distillery*) No, they are on the fishing boat quay, beside the RNLI shop, and near where the lifeboat is berthed - about 50 yards or so from the top of the bridge ...

I was at Ardminish on Monday. Plenty of nice moorings, but the new jetty has only been half completed, with no decking, so unusable as yet. The pontoons seem to be grounded over in the ferry car park at Tayinloan. No sign of any work in progress at present, so maybe things have ground to a halt for ...

All over the place indeed. Quite fun trying to spot the locations. There was a scene in episode two in Irvine beside the tide gauge.

Favourite anchorages:

Marvig - Isle of Lewis
Loch Moidart - of course - half the fun is getting in
Loch Roe - near Lochinver - a first for me this year

Runners up:

Loch Tarbert Jura
Loch Portain
