Snow calls off play

This was the day, scheduled three weeks ago, for my boat to be launched.  Unfortunately given the time between booking and action I wasn't able to schedule a decent day as well.  I drove down to Largs first thing, past the snow covered hills and frozen loch at the top of Hallie Brae to see the Largs Channel was covered with white horses whipped up by the stiff Northerly wind.  I had a chat with the hoist crew who confirmed my own thoughts that there was no way we could mount the mast and then launch the boat safely given the strong gusty wind and the snow lying on the deck of the boat.  I waited until lunchtime but there was no let up so I'm back there tomorrow to have another go.
