Corpach goodbye "Flying Scotsman"
Oban anchored overnight rain.
Trip to Crinan via nice little anchorage for lunch, fog crazy narrow channel riding 5kn current with submerged rock in the middle - piece of cake, and another cuppa.
Dreaded Dorus Mor was doing impression of local model boat pond.
Welcomed into Crinan Canal Sea lock basin.
Helped through Canal over 2 days (strong winds at sea) in company of nice French extended Family boat. Met up with Brian & Jimmy of "Escape".
Nice sail along Loch Fyne to Carry Point in West Kyle of Bute nice peaceful little anchorage.
Sailed along Firth of Clyde under the shadow of Isle of Arran. Very strong wind. "Escape" a couple of miles behind me measured gusts of 35kn too much for my little craft so put in Clyde Marina Ardrossan. Beautiful Shearwater difficult to capture on camera.
My thoughts .... some of the best and most exciting sailing in the world here. Beautiful and surprising part of Britain. Loads of corners to peep around ! Great stuff Mike.
