Hazard in the Puilladobhrain anchorage

[Amulet]

This is from the Royal Highland Yacht Club website:

Members: please see the news page (need to login) for important information about a hazard in the Puilladobhrain anchorage

I'd like to think that only making it available to members is an accidental consequence of the fact that they have no mechanism to post news more widely, rather than deliberate.
Anyone know what the hazard is?

It's the top item on the News page of WHAM's website http://www.whamassoc.org.uk/html/news.html

Someone found some abandoned chain.

It would be nice to think abandoned chain was the only hazard there. :disgust

In Ye Olde Days one did not flush a sea toilet in a busy anchorage. It seems those days are past, alas.

I remember helping a yacht with its anchor fouled there. It had got itself caught in the large motorboats mooring, the one that sat on the shore of the island at the entrance. We managed to lift the chain on our winches but the hook was right into a chain link for a ships anchor, so we got what we could and cut it off. Not too long after on another visit a mooring boat came along and lifted it. The motorboats mooring consisted of a 100mm diameter rope, onto the ships chain, links about 12" long, which then went onto two large fisherman style anchors that were about 6ft across. Tangled in the mess were 5 yacht anchors and chain, and a motorbike.

That auld fishing boat arrived in Ardrishaig a good many years ago half converted to a moving home, sadly it never did get finished and after it got kicked out of Otter Puddle it ended up in Loch Feochan for a while. Dunno what ever became of it.

I see that the yacht which was lying on the mooring in Puilladobhrain (Christala?), is now, well last week anyway, on a mooring in Loch Aline. The mooring is still in Puilladobhrain. Anyone know anything about it?
