Can I be slightly jealous? (of the ribbing, not Pikey's initiation ceremony!  )
All I manged last week was a wee spin to the next bay with my Aux on a borrowed dinghy! #1 crew loved it - especially when "Lady Iona" provided us with some Atlantic swell* sized wake to play / surf in!
- When did you drive up? - I may have passed you going the other way just north of Crianlarich..... Not that you would have noticed me as a ribber - the aux was buried in the box trailer.
* Not really - but in a 3m soft floor with a whopping 4 Hosses on the back it looks HUUUUGE!

Nope, definitely not you then! This rib was about 5m and was behind a car - and was a week later!
Great you had a good holiday.

Great Stuff!:.(.Although not literally Today I hope ) they are great cruising grounds for sure.
Have a good one! Love the Corry....and The "Dogs"...seems early and late summer is always a good bet for the Weather too.

Dogs were great too
Weathers changed today, wanted to do a run to Iona and Staffa but wind very blustery and strong gusty rain, set to get worse but better tomorrow.
Here's the redbay with corry in the background and a sunset as a back drop.
Great memories, for any of you who haven't been to the north west of Scotland boating its a must as the other folks will tell you.

Plus a video to whet your apetite too, from much further north in April this year... well worth the trip "south" (for us) for this day in itself.

Enjoy!
