Oh alright then, you can guess the island(s) too if you want.
What-is-it? Of interest to Full Circle and Morgana?

Come off it, Waitrose sells Duchy of Cornwall free-range organic haggis by the very-small-barrow-load.
Raised, I believe, on wee Charlie Windsor's allotment at Balmoral.

Waitrose eh !!
Must admit I don't use those cheapo shops
I do believe the ones Charlie has on his estate count as non farmed though , so they're still wild at the time of shooting

Apparently Harrods no longer stocks Duchy Haggii.

Correct. There's a pint wating for you in the T'n'T tomorrow night at 8.
You're not trying hard enough over the boat though. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You know, I'm not sure if it's Insh, or Dun Chonnuill at the north end of the Garvellachs.
And I took the bloomin' pic! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
An hour after taking that picture, we found ourselves approaching an enormous bank of dense fog - the whole of Jura, from the shoreline to the Paps, was obliterated. At best the viz was 200 metres or so, and it was still blowing F3/F4 - very unusual to have thick fog in this area.
The other thing to look out for is silliness by the locals;

Sorry to be boring on about this, but these are most peculiar animals. They seem to crave your attention, and get bored unless you're actively moving and watching them.
For example the display above lasted about 15-20 minutes. But we were boring, just motoring along at tickover speed, about 3 knots. So when they heard the throbbing of the faster moving bright yellow dive boat, loaded with a much larger audience, you couldn't see them for, errmm, dust.
After we'd anchored up in the east side of Castle Bay (Port a' Chroinn) on Kerrera, they came back, but studiously ignored us. We weren't doing anything exciting like sailing or motoring.
On an overnight passage of over 90 miles from Dingle to Kilronan on Inishmore, a pod of dolhins appeared in the wee small hours, and stayed with us until day started to break. It was cloudy, and there was no moon or starlight. The phosphorescence was spectacular, the dolphins tracks were clearly visible.
They're very odd, and would be quite attractive if it were not for their unpleasant habit of playing keepie-up with porpoises or dolphins that have fallen out of favour. They appear to be merciless. Is it "just for fun"?

The ones that Waitrose sell are lowland haggis you can always tell a real haggis as it has one leg longer than the other from running round mountains anti clockwise!

I find highland haggii much stringier than their lowland brothers and sisters. Can't beat an 8 month old lowlander, in my view. Unless you want to a haggis somosa, when quality hardly matters.

We had a pod of around 15 a couple of years ago as we were motorsailing down past rockabill lighthouse, we had to motor quite fast to keep them interested, they loved to ride the bow then disappear and then chase the boat again...
All priceless and great to see, makes the passage worthwhile, and a great memory whilst dreaming of voyages to come, makes you want to get out there again.(boat in yard all this year, so craving to get out on the wet stuff early next season)..
