It was wonderful right through the summer until just a week or two back, coincidentally when you returned

White Haven actually. Lovely spot - walked up St Bees Head and then up Ennerdale to Pillar last weekend - much too nice to go sailing!

Used to sail out of there occasionally . . . friends had a charter company so used to take boats up to the Clyde or Oban. It's a nice spot but not so many places to go. Isle of Whithorn is nice if you don't mind drying out, and Kircudbright is good if you like rivers . . .
Loch Melfort is looking very pretty just now though.

How anyone who parks in Balvicar can possibly comment on anywhere in such disparaging tones is entirely beyond me.

Well, I have to say that with the keel firmly wedged in the Balvicar mud its going to be a night without swinging - then again, I don't suppose there's much call for swingers on Seil?
