BLUEMOMENT

Motoring past Ardmore today I got regular DSC alerts for something 30 odd miles away bearing 017 degrees.
Stornoway were discussing a boat on a rock, no immediate peril but another yacht stood by until Oban Lifeboat got there.
After the fourth alert I got the chart out to see where the lat and long was.
Ah, the rock, north of Cleit in Cuan sound.
They got him off and towed somewhere safe.

I believe that's the one called, at least unofficially, "Claymore's Rock".

It's a menace, it would greatly benefit from being marked, and is the only non-navigable waypoint I have marked on my chart plotter - with a red cross.
