there are loads of places much closer that you can go to and have time to enjoy and explore
Duart castle has a jetty and coffee snack bar and a visit to castle is good
Loch Aline pontoons and resturant and coffee hut
Port Appin
Glen coe
loch Feochan
all short distances if weather / fuel a problem
these goals are achievable the rest is a huge bonus
enjoy the trip
We will try not to drink the bars dry before you get here
Launching tomoro itinerry prob easdale lunch,crinan beer, corry, greydogs, stop for coffee, back to marina for food and beer
then the same sort of thing for the next six days lifes hard

Cheers for that..Appreciate it if you Dont Run it Dry befor WE get there!
The Trip sounds Great!...have a Good One!
Good to look at all options,as we dont get up there Often..and if the Weather does play Ball.....could get One or Two off the Bucket List!

Me and the boys (& Mrs B) are doing our usual Spring Bank weekend staying at Puffin so we might like to tag along on one of the days if ok. My first and only Ribnet gathering was Colonsay ,,,,
We were up and Easter and the sea gods were really kind. Tob one day including the compulsory Hispania and Mish and followed the next day with Iona and return via Corryvreckan and Grey Dogs on a good spring tide!
I have only managed Staffa once included as part of an 'around' Mull experience ,,,, fantastic if the weather is good
Will keep a look out for the BS's !!!

It'd be great to have you along & join up again Jeff. I've just got my diving gear back from servicing, I've not been in the water for 3 years so need to break myself in gently, what could possibly go wrong
