Dunno Boss - Poly turned up at Scottish SIB meet in a hard boat and he was only moderately teased. As soon as he starts dishing up hot tea and muffins from the galley he'll be highly respected!

Yep looking forward to it.
I may go up the weekend before diving and leave the boat up there somewhere.
Fingers crossed for some good weather. 😳😊

you can store the rib in puffin dive centre, oban caravan site is another option. i can't mind how much i paid puffin last year but it wasn't much.

Yeah it's the deep water version.

Eilean Eisdeal the local community trust that owns the harbour encourages boat users. All fees go to improving the harbour. Easdale harbour is really sheltered. We have had 2 boats on the water throughout the winter. Neither Gertrude nor Henry posed any concerns. The current harbour projects are additional pontoons and to renovate the boat shed to house the community tractor, an old grey Fergie.

Carolyn will sort everything when she eventually returns from Cambodia. She is currently struggling in 40 degrees heat.

Hopefully Pam and I will be up again for this one.
If all goes to plan and the weather doesn't look too bad I'm hoping to bring Baby Blue (4.7 Searider) up and tow it behind our new toy - But I've a bit of work to do to get the accommodation ready!

Hopefully you get it completed. Having a deadline is a good thing as it drives you. Wouldn't be the same without you.

Hi. Is there any numbers yet for how many have registered for this year so far? Hopefully a good turn out.

Xk59D · 10 February 2016, 20:56

it will be a good turn out, of that you can put the mortgage on.

Hmm - if I spend as much time as I think it will need in the garage getting the boat and van ready .... I probably will be coming up on my own!

Anyone camping at the Highlands Art Centre this year? Thinking I am too late to get digs anywhere. Is there any water and leccy? Don`t remember seeing much in the way of facilities last time I was there.

IIRC it is a stony area that the grass grew over (aka an Argyll field).

Facilities = a picnic table and bugger all else
