What’s missing?
April 2, 2009
We live on the shores of Loch Dunvegan. We have direct access to the water. We have joined the Colbost & Skinidin Mooring Association. We have the creel pots. And the angling rods. So…. uhmmmm… what’s missing? Ah… the bloody boat!! Yep, we still haven’t got a proper boat. Yesterday evening I lurked for hours on the web looking for a decent little boat but they’re either sold in Devon or Hampshire or they’re huge and cost a fortune. I do this lurking every now and then when I feel the urge for having a boat. The urges become stronger as seasons change from dark and gloomy winter to sunny spring. Last year I was convinced that that year would be our last “boat-less” year, but I’m not sure. I have not seen the real deal… yet…
Over in Glendale the concrete floors were poured. I vividly remember doing a 20m2 floor of the shed last year. Very hard work. This year I was bystander while Icky and his three helpers poured roughly 50m2 of concrete in a blazing tempo. The change in atmosphere inside the house is amazing. As the concrete needed to dry I was excused from plastering work and took on a small paint job. Spot the differences on the photo’s. By the way: the remaining scaffolding is for forming the skews and restoring the chimney stacks.

We stayed some days near Portmalong. Took the ferry from Uig to Lochmaddy and back from Tarbet. From there we took the road along Denvegan. That’s the nearest we have been to Skinidin. At least I assume it is there as your map link did not work.
