Crinan canal

Bikes on the coach roof

I want to sail every day

Just back from four day family trip bringing our wee boat chortle back to her winter birth at Ardrossan's Clyde Marine, from her Craignish Laggoon mooring, through the crinan canal. What a fabulous time we all had. With the logistic complications of moving the boat from a to b there is always the problem of how you move all the crew and kit about and this time our wee tender giggle home from her summer spot on the shores of Craignish Lagoon.

In brief:
Friday night drive to mooring Craignish Lagoon, load up chortle inflate spare avon tender and lift and secure giggle (our hard sailing tender) on to car roof.
