I do miss pootling around from the mull of Kintyre to the sound of Islay or Jura on our patrols to Oban and beyond, had some great 'fun' anchored off various parts of Jura to be woken by the anchor watch in the early hours of the morning as the apparently sound bottom our anchor had settled in was actually a clump of kelp which decided, once the tide turned to uproot itself!!About 2200 last night from my back garden.lookiing towards Islay and Jura.View attachment 40660View attachment 40659
There's still plenty of kelp, but I always know when a big trawler has been around by the blankets of it covering the beach a tide or so later.I do miss pootling around from the mull of Kintyre to the sound of Islay or Jura on our patrols to Oban and beyond, had some great 'fun' anchored off various parts of Jura to be woken by the anchor watch in the early hours of the morning as the apparently sound bottom our anchor had settled in was actually a clump of kelp which decided, once the tide turned to uproot itself!!
I remember sailing into Oban harbour with our anchor still not housed as it had a ton of kelp enveloping it.
How do you put up with such crowded beaches ?At 22 degrees C I really do enjoy living up here away from the crowds
