MoD Police retrieve sunken boat

The retrieved boat on Sandy Beach

Thursday evening saw the retrieval by Ministry of Defence Police of the cabin cruiser which sank at its Ardentinny mooring on July 1.  The unmanned boat took on water and sank in around 70 feet of water. We understand that the craft slipped its mooring last Sunday and drifted across to the Coulport side of Loch Long.

The boat owner hopes to repair and refloat the cruiser as soon as possible. He would like to express his appreciation to the police for their help and assistance during the two hour operation.

With the help of a tractor, the boat was righted on Friday afternoon.

Second cygnet gone

Quite a stormy day on Loch Long today. Sadly it looks like the second cygnet (see photo below taken on Thursday) has now disappeared. Possibly to a Heron or Crow?

Sunday evening.
Thursday evening.

Until a few days ago there were two cygnets with mum and dad, sadly there now only appears to be the one.

[Fri. 16:49:20] Waverley running empty

The Waverley late this afternoon on Loch Long. No passengers appeared to be on board. We understand that she had boiler problems at Largs.  Can anyone confirm?
