Scottish West Coast Marinas

[Ceejay]

Some assistance appreciated, I am considering moving boat from Solent to West coast
but not Oban.

Now, what did you get up to in Oban, I wonder.......

Did you know that SEPA charges the canal, owned by the Scottish Government. for every litre of the water from their own 200 year old catchment reservoirs that they use.

About twenty years ago a water powered woollen mill in North Wales was (almost?) put out of business when Welsh Water tried to charge them for the water which went through their waterwheel and was returned to the river, nicely oxygenated.

The curtailment of extended opening at Crinan a couple of seasons back forced the charter company to move to Ardfern and that freed up a few berths that year.

Ah, I wondered where they had gone. I found an old Crinan Canal Skipper's Guide on the boat this summer ... sea lock operating times were 7am to 9.30pm throughout the summer ...

Not so much what I did in Oban more of what Oban (Marina) did to me......
