Spring is here

Spring is in the air at Laggan today, the birds are in full song, the spring bulbs are pushing through.

The loch is still with barely a ripple. The rest of the boats will soon be taken through the canal back to the loch.

It was a lovely spring day yesterday, with a wee chill in the air, but today the mercury has barely risen above zero.

Birds are starting to mate, the Woodpecker has been busy drilling away these last few days.

The loch is like a millpond with the odd ripple when the ducks come by.

Craning in
Last weekend we craned in the boats that have been out for the winter after they had been serviced and anti-fouled.

It was a long hard misty day to get all of the boats into the water again, but it was worth the effort as they now look ready for hire.
