I may go out again later, perhaps even undo the top toggle on the duffle coat!

I was a reckless fool this afternoon; two toggles on the duffle coat were released! I kept the comforter on just in case though.

I have difficulty suppressing a wry smile when I see the Beeb forecast of wet and windy over the bottom of the UK while the remainder part is bathed in sun and clement zephyrs. Must be a moral there!

I'm minded it gets a wee bitty breezy at times up in the wild and woolly NW, so FWIW.....

Look, why don’t we just close the borders and stop all foreigners from despoiling our idilic cruising grounds ( sorry, Mr Penfold, the sugar boat is not idyllic. Maybe a bit interesting in a shipspotter kind of way).
So less of the Fred drift, sitting here in Tarbert Marina on Harris, enjoying a post sundowner, malt at 22.50 in the daylight, having had a lovey evening chatting to other random yotties here. Its great here and the marina is fantastic. Just to annoy the southern YBWers, it’s £2/m inc elec, and all facilities and there is a gin distillery at the pier head, whats not to like…?
ps,

The sort that will set his wife on you as she did it. ?
Anyway, out here in the Wild West, we do things in a wild and reckless way… Not like the Clyde. ?

When you do (if ever) decide to return you will be gratified to know that the canal is now admitting Bellanoch residents at Crinan on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Most folk wont put in the effort to get here - the ones that do are the kind of folk you'll be happy to meet...
(those that get delivery crew to park their yacht here for their holidaze are to be avoided of course. Mind you - if you don't got to marinas you'll likely never meet them
)

Oh bu**er! I had forgotten the loony schedule. I had cunning plans to satisfy domestic requirements and get the boat from the Clyde to Oban for the Round Mull Race which had a plan B of Wednesday through the Crinan Canal to be in Oban on Thursday night. Looks like Plan A of yet another trip round the MoK - at least the midges won't get me.
