Winter Wedding
Coastal Connection was up to the Isle of Eriska Hotel on Saturday to be one of the pre-wedding activites. They ran three trips out to Castle Stalker before the happy couple were due to tie the knot later in the day. The weather was perfect with bright blue sky and snow capped mountains giving great photo opportunities.
Ready for 2010 season
The Coastal Connection maintenance team have completed their winter jobs. Both boats have been overhauled and all the wee jobs completed. On the final day of servicing a snow storm passed through. Only 5 minutes later it was bright sunshine. Power of Scotland and Rannochmor are all ready for the season ahead.
Coastal TV Connection
Check out “Bill Baileys Bird Watching Bonanza” tonight (thursday) on Sky 1 at 9 pm. The episode is based in Argyll looking for Sea Eagles on the Island of Mull. The two celebrity teams chartered the Coastal Connection boats and had a competition to see who could see the most birdlife on the way to Mull.
Lismore run
Coastal Connection were out on the water on Monday. They took a team of workers form Oban over to Lismore Lighthouse to finish off recent work. The sea was flat calm and seals were spotted at the Light playing in the currents. Hopefully the weather does not turn cold again for the team working on the lighthouse.

Flat Calm
Coastal Connection were out on the water today. It was a stunning day out on the water with some great views of Mull and also up towards Fort William. The team saw an otter and common seals at the entrance of Loch Feochan. The temperatures are meant to drop even lower over the weekend, so keep wrapped up.
First charter of 2010
Yesterday Coastal Connection had their first charter of 2010 from returning customers. They were keen to go for lunch somewhere remote, so Colonsay was the chosen destination. There was still an Easterly wind blowing which made for a following sea to Colonsay. The guests went for a good lunch at the Colonsay Hotel, after lunch they headed for Jura to gain some shelter from the Easterly wind, then...
