A gentle reminder about the Ceilidh Cruise, 19-21 April
aka the Sesh Cruise, starting this Friday at the Creagan Inn, Loch Creran, then the pub at Lochaline on Saturday, and the Tigh an Truish on Sunday. Implements will probably include a fiddle, a box, a guitar, a banjo, a bass, a flute, some whistles and moothies, and a bouzouki.

Well, we'll chust have to get a more reliable roadie.....
Had a pretty good weekend starting Friday at the Creagan Inn where one of the local guys borrowed Kenny the Box's accordion for a few numbers. Good sail to Loch Aline the following day, tacking down the Lynn of Morvern and then on the beam up the Sound of Mull. Blowing a 6 when we came alongside on the new pontoons. The waves were surprisingly big with the wind and scend whipping straight through the entrance to the loch. A wild ceilidh in the social club followed. The wind stayed strong for the sail to Puilladobhrain but at least we managed to do it on a single tack from the mouth of the loch all the way to PD. Sea was quite rough, and a bit more again on Monday morning when headed north with not much genny out; blowing 6 and above for most of the time and waves up to about 3m although that improved once we were in shelter of Mull.
All in all, a very enjoyable weekend but tiring. Lots of work on the winches and late nights. Some alcohol was taken.
