The Clyde and Covid19

[JumbleDuck]

I’ve just returned from my first, few days visit to The Clyde, post CV. As usual, everyone was warm and welcoming. Common sense CV precautions were being observed by all.

Generally I agree, though Scott's in Largs was far fuller than I would have thought sensible - absolutely rammed. We ate there twice, but went right at the end of the evening when it was down to safer-feeling levels.

There were rumours of a mini-outbreak of COVID-19 at Tarbert (Loch Fyne) marina but there seems no sign of that in the stats - two confirmed cases in Argyll and Bute over the last seven days.

We missed the favourable tides and wind and after a disastrous attempt at sailing between Carrick Castle past Coalport had to lower the sails and motor because the wind was right on the nose and I was tired and aching after the exploits to free the mooring.

We motored that bit too, even without your mooring drama. With any west in the wind the curl-over from the hills makes it a pain ... we gave up having experienced everything from F1 to F5 everywhere from N through W to S.

Port Bannatyne marinais open, I am told, but the toilets are closed overnight because they can't clean them then. They have arranged an evening meal service with the Kingarth Hotel for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights - order by 4.30pm and dinner arrives at 7pm.

I shall be heading off for two or three weeks on Wednesday (I hope) so if you want to use my mooring at PB while I am away then your are very welcome. I'll PM some details.

Hi JD PMd you lost some details.
