No it's the Royalist. She ghosted round through the Burnt Isles channel,with hardly a breath of wind,we lesser souls were motoring. A magnificant site under full sail. Ended up in Largs yacht haven.

The other one has got to be the Waverley

But how are the Maids of Bute doing these days? Do Para & Dougie need to give 'em another coat of paint?

I wondered where Royalist had gone. Keep on looking out of the office window onto an empty berth. I dont think she can be classed as an old lady yet, but I dont know her build year.
Would have thought 1970's

I thought for a moment she was lining up to pick up Donald Beaton's mooring

Royalist and Waverley. Royalist is hardly an old lady!

The second picture shows our next door neighbours, so, yes very close to Aja's mooring.

Unfortunately for the Royalist, Aja was still attached this weekend. Sheena and I were oot on a proper racing machine to Bangor and back.

Very nice it was too!
