Getting acquainted - 2009

We completed purchase of Mistroma late in August and did not have time for an extended cruise outside the confines of the Clyde. Fortunately, this is an excellent cruising area and it proved to be a very enjoyable introduction to our new boat.

As our mooring in the Holy Loch had not been upgraded we didn't trust it for extended use. However, we were able to spend several nights there on-board combined with the odd stay in the local marina. Largs Marina provided a berth with a large end of season reduction until we were craned out for the winter.
