Is it something in the water?

[ChrisE]

Rants seem to be the flavour of the week. First me then others. Are we just missing our boats?

think you got it there Chris

I am sitting here floored with a nasty cold, watching across my play waters (Kyles of Bute) counting down till lanching (4 weeks tomorrow) itching to get out there. Noticed a miss-post yesterday entitled "Cabin Fever" which I reckon just about sums it up.

Better get my anti-fouling started soon

That's the usual cause in my experience but I don't think this off season has been as bad as some in the past.

Mill pond at Toward - a different scene wehen going past L Striven maybe or is that when there is some east in it?

Had a shot in my laser at easter a couple of years ago. Straight out and straight in!!!!

I was thinking the very same myself, earlier today. A lot of people getting tetchy about things. It must be the frustration caused by insufficient sailing, and hoping the boat would be fully ready by now, but realising there is still work left to be done.

Only 3 weeks until Easter, though!

Ah,
You need a drysuit with latex socks and a good diving thinsulate, also got a nice pair of neoprene gloves from Splashsports in Glasgow and a wee neoprene bunnet.

Some of the most exhilarating sailing is to be had during the winter and there are an awfy lot of nice days. I was last out two weekends ago and it was bright sun and a steady F3-4 all day. Quite flat too as the wind was blowing off Cowal to the North

Frankly I get too hot and a ducking is pleasant relief

Buy you a pint at Kames sometime

Ah! That's where I've been going wrong.

Suppose you heard - the Kames has just got its licence back..... the new owner forgot to apply for one... ooops!

Were always kicking about the Kyles. Favourite anchorage is Wreck Bay (if its quiet)

It’s a seasonal thing, pre launch tension.
