Thanks, done, I hadn't seen that.

That has got to be the worst box of crackers ever

Oomph, at least nothing unwinding or flapping in the pic of the marina.

Its looks a bampot. Fingers crossed for folk with boats in it.

An excellent , genial cruise around Mull in the last 5 days. Craobh-Lismore, Lismore-Coll, Coll-Ulva, Ulva- Loch Buie, Loch Buie - Craobh. Weather was almost disconcertingly beautiful, and some great sails were had , but also the donkey got a good run. The thing that was really noticeable on this tr...

Fingers crossed.

Some of this is pretty concerning: 1. Power supply, how long do you need your charts to last in the case of a power outage? 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day? How is that power to be provided? 2. How expensive is a new SV-ECS setup going to be? The Raymarine "black box" sounds like a slightly despera...

I bought the clyde folio last year. I will buy up some more charts over the next months. Not sure we are ever really going to have good enough electronics ( back up power supplies, navigable screens for when GPS is spoofed) etc setups on small boats.

Good to know, thanks. Always enjoyed the place a few years ago.

That is really good news, especially that they are doing dinners as well.

I don't do Bloody stupid/sh1tt time. My watch stays at GMT/UT. I claim it's to make navigation easy, but its really to remind me the Government/Society insist on me getting up early ,in summer, when I don't need to, and I can blame them for something else that makes me grumpy. I live in scotland, it...

Standard gross margins for food and drink are around the 60% mark, so they are not low margin. Plenty of people can make hospitality work, it takes some skill, and an ability to work facing an often deluded public, but plenty of people make a good job of it. Several operations not a million miles fr...
