Big crane from Rasaay



A very blustery start to the day brought a larger Ferry to Sconser the Loch Brushda carry a Heavy Lifting crane which has been lifting concrete blocks and steel shuttering at the new pier on Rasaay for the last 2 years.. The lorry had a small problem negotiating the roadworks but was finally on its way.

Both the Loch Striven and the Loch Brushda have been ferrying large and small vehicles back to Rasaay all morning . Loch Striven to the old terminal and Loch Brushda to the new one.


Today has brought plenty of stunning rainbows as you can see from the above photo.

Still haven't sorted problems with Weather Station but have Techno wiz Heather here to sort it out. So watch this space .....AGAIN

Spring cleaning


Well today seems to be a good to get rid of the cobwebs etc. The weather outside is frightful (sounds like the beginning of a song) Not like yesterday when it was lovely and sunny.

Just been outside and it feels warm when the sun comes out and the wind is not quite so bad.

Getting things sorted for when Heather comes up at weekend looks like her flight will be ok I am looking forward to seeing her. No work still but I am optomistic for May.

Still having technical problems with Weather data but hopefully "a man who can maybe will sort it out".
. Thought weather was improving but hailstones again!!!

Weather Station



Well I have finally purchased a Weather station which was very kindly installed by my friend Maggi's husband Leslie. Data is now being received to the base station and makes interesting daily reading . Software is installed and I am now trying to work out how to transfer readings on to this page.
Update today Monday 19th April am still having a few teething problems so just watch this space.

Weather is abysmal, cold with frequent showers some with snow.

Roadworks are continuing and are beginning to get tedious , the only good thing about the rain , it lays the dust.
