Re: Linnhe Marina - experiences?
You're right, Dave. We've had 2 "once in 40 years" storms in January and last May therefore it will obviously be 79 years until the next. Wish I'd thought of that before having my mooring fettled - what a waste of money!DaveS wrote:I don't think statistics works quite like that...marisca wrote:And anyway there's another 39 years before the next "once in 40 years" storm

I shall look forward to it. No doubt you can explain your hypothesis that if the world was turned upside down, Dallens Bay would be a crap anchorage, over a glass of whisky? It may make more sense that way.Ghillie wrote:Oops.

Rhu Marina has had boats wrecked in gales regularly since the year it opened. Beats me why anyone ever leaves a boat there,marisca wrote:I wouldn't worry Ken, nowhere can be as damaging as Port Edgar when the tide turns in a blow.
