Spent some of January at Lochnell Boatyard doing keel repairs on a Nauticat 33 after it hit the rocks!
They have a fantastic heated shed up there so it was a nice treat to be inside and warm!

Hey folks! Hope you are all keeping well.

Hi folks!
Hope you are all keeping well.
As a lot of you may have noticed I’ve not been trading for the last year. For personal reasons I took a full time position at Port Bannatyne marina for a year and recently decided to leave for a job at Ardoran Marine near Oban. I was due to start at the beginning of this week however with all that’s happening they changed their minds and I’m now left unemployed, However! All is not lost! The situation has forced me to go back to self employment which I had intended to do at the end of the year. I am currently living on my boat at Craobh marina and am able to work on boats here (I’ve had permission from the manager) as a contractor.
Obviously due to travel restrictions I cannot go further afield for the moment but hopefully in the near future I’ll be fully open for business!
Look after yourself, stay safe and remember, wash yer hands!

Here’s a great we picture my friend John Mill send me which really cheered me up!
