Back in the water

Post by Gardenshed »

Launched on Friday in groovy croovy.
amazingly cold but good to be back afloat and getting the boat recommissioned but glad that the Webasto was working. every job seems to take longer when your fingers are freezing
when will spring start and when will the warmer weather arrive?

We moved the boat from the Clyde to Croabh monday/tuesday last week, then went on a quick cruise Tobermory ( v quiet), Rum, Canna, Glenuig, Drumbie and back to Craobh , in all the places we saw no other boats. Saw one other yacht ( Vivid - big 23m luxury charter) on our travels, and a stream of 8 or so yachts on their way up the SOM in the miserable wind , rain and hail of sunday. Full oillies all week, t-shirts stayed in the bag, didn't feel like may, but the sailing was good, if lively on friday. Hopefully some decent weather is on its way in june.

Craobh is absolutely booked solid. They are trying to squeeze in some extra pontoons.
