Circumnavigation of Luing: a 32km day trip from Ellenabeich, Seil, January 2011.

Toberonochy, what's the story?
As the glassy calm waters of the Sound of Shuna slipped astern, we came across some scattered houses on the Luing shore.

Crystal Waters, a former Banff registered trawler (BF 209), was leaning against the harbour wall. She was decommissioned under the Fishing Vessels (Decommissioning) (Scotland) Scheme
