			 Just noticed that one of our fellow forumites has a letter in this month's copy of PBO, No 540, October 2011.
Tested the keel on a rock to make sure that it wasn't likely to fall off.

			When I tested to see if the rocks in Cuan were stable and limped back to Kilmelford, Ken McColl who owns the boatyard took me to one side and said "There's 2 kinds of yachtsmen around here - those who have hit rocks and those who haven't yet."

I was told that someone actually managed to stand on Campbell Rk at LWS....
Can't imagine why other than because it was there.
