Just read in my RYA mag that its been declared out of bounds because there's something rare about a reef.
I did think Shard had cleared it of reefs some time ago when he was reconfiguring his keel.

Mine doesn't say that.

Sounds like the equivalent of reef foot and mouth

There is a proposal to ban anchoring in Loch T. It has not happened yet.
Marine Scotland, in partnership with SNH, are running some drop in events ahead of the February 2 deadline for comments from the public. The Oban event is on Wed 10th Dec in the Coran Halls between 3pm -9pm.
It looks as though they are being a bit lazy as to my (limited) knowledge the reefs in question do not cover the whole of Loch T.
The consultation documents are here:

Sorry if that does not work as a hot link but it should copy & paste.

Buy me enough beer in Auly's Bar and I'll go along and 'consult' with them if you like?

Did the tricky bit OK but managed to hit a rock that everyone else misses. Takes years of training......
