If you are not video'ed out yet ..you can see my wee boat breaking through the ice in Loch Gair ..around 5 mins into the video. It was great fun and I love hearing the ice crunch as the inflatable ploughs through it … there have been more great days boating weather this winter than there was during the summer

Brings back memories....

In my "hard-boat" days my boat was kept on a swinging mooring at Ardrishaig and then in Lochgair. I suspect the explanation for the ice in Lochgair is down to the amount of fresh water that runs into it from the hydro power station and the burn but very sheltered spot. The boat would get left on the mooring through the winter there.

Regarding the heated insoles......There isn't a "Made in Chernobyl" label on them is there?

If there is no ice on the water - it's still boating season .
That day the snow on the motor cover did not melt all day ..
