    the same reason i take it easy on you, pity!!!!!
    when i saw her in port seton for the first time with the tide out,was amazed at the amount of water it took to float her.not many boats would lay along side her

    luckily seldom a problem except when landing into tayinloan or coming out of the west loch tarbert in the dark, the deepest channel couldn't have more than the width of the boat, so we often got stuck and needed a wee pull round the corner just to get out of that short bend. drew 9ft 6" so less than a couple of fathom meant trouble. maybe the reason nobody would lie alongside was down to the then owners? i don't have a single good word to say about them so i'll say nothing, bad karma dealt with them eventually.

    just realised i managed to shift her from the front of the pier to the inner harbour without a graph!!!! but i'm told my readings were sh!te anyway so maybe just as well, or was it me that was sh!te? hard to hear when the insult is thrown over the shooder as the hurler retreats into the distance, all i'll say is watch your salesman isna passing on your business to such characters, it might be used as an excuse in fifteen years time by someone who , ach fergetit, naw worth the hassle, i was semi paralysed wae MS and had a two year old wean to feed at the time, don't have to explain myself to any lowlife little c@nt like him!!!!!
    a widnae be able to sleep at night if i selt anything wi loads o faults even tae ma worst enemies
    Which readings was that, the Brodick ones that were stolen and copied, or the Kilberry ones that were stolen and copied?
