Cetus MV
P&H Kayaks delivered this beautiful Cetus MV. I took Friday off and went for a wee paddle to get the feel of her. Wow what a boat first impression is she is very fast and smooth through the water. The wind was blowing a fair bit and the swell had picked up so sorry no pictures on the water. She handled beautifully. I instantly felt comfortably in her.

sea monster
passing Dunnon something loomed out of the water!
Turns out to be a painted rock that the locals call
Jim Crow!!!!!
winter sun on loch long
Had a few hours to spare and could not resist such a beautiful afternoon.
Looking south down Loch Long to Greenock.
north up Loch Long.
setting sun behind Blairmore pier.
The winter afternoon sun is beautiful on the calm water.
You never get fed up with sunsets. They always make me smile.
At Strone point there is a cross in the water just off the shore.
Can anyone tell me anything about it.
Looking back up Loch Long.
Sorry could not resist one last picture of this.
Perfect end to a day.

My Father
I have not been keeping this blogg up to date for a while due to my father passing away after a short illness.
This hit our family very hard and has taken me some time to get back on track with life. We will miss him dearly.
