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.





The advert can be seen on this site:
