New Master

Well it has happened and I am pleased to say that Aros More has indeed a new Master and I could not be more pleased. Iain (he can reveal his full identity in his own time)is just the owner I had been looking for. He plans to use her to her full potential and will be ably assisted by his wife Susan. I wish them both the best of luck and will be there to help should this be required. In managing the transfer Nick Stratton Yachts could not have been more helpful. Thank you! Parting was not easy but I did not expect anything else and I will be the first to say Aros More appeared in peak condition making me very proud.I am certain that the Lord looked kindly on this sale as on every at every visit to the boat by Iain and even when accompanied by Susan the weather was warm under bright blue skies. Extraordinary but we were on the west coast of Scotland!For the first time since the early seventies I am shore bound except for an 8 foot fibreglass dinghy, but there you go.

The next phase is to find the next boat and a trip to Mexico is again on the agenda for mid November. There has been snow on the hills so it is time to go looking for the sun and warmth again.Will keep you posted. Thinking of you Iain, Susan and Aros More.

Looking for a New Master

As we pass through the coldest winter "since records began" and global "warming" takes effect Aros More has been snug at her berth in Craobh Yacht Haven, Argyll. We had 18 degrees F but the sea provided the necessary heat sink and all has been well. Except for the usual weathering of the varnish work she looks good waiting anxiously for her new owner. When she does go there will be tears I am sure. I had Miles Stratton from Stratton Yachts on board yesterday taking pictures for the advert. Seeing them on the web, I am really wondering why I am selling! However if we want to up-size for more adventures we must go through this trauma. Though I say it myself, she is a great boat and will do any new skipper proud especially should he /she wish to go far afield across the seas.

I have tried to remain on top of any maintenance which really has not been out of the ordinary except for the Aerogen which I have replaced with a new one. The bearings had given up. Craobh is a really excellent marina and whenever I go there the skies seem to be blue and yesterday with new thick snow on the Mull hills and inland, the scenes were out of this world. Returning home was slow with the repeated stops for yet another photograph.
