Home on leave and the weather good too, well it was up until today, but never mind it was good over the weekend. The two Margarets and Julie were free so we headed off in a flat calm on Saturday morning passing the pipe layer Audacia which was anchored off and being serviced by a little fleet of vessels.
Fortunately a zephyr like South Easterly breeze picked up and we got a nice little sail up the East Kyle of Bute, turned right at the top into Loch Riddon where the wind died away again and we anchored off for the night.
Nary a breath.
Then we noticed that we weren't alone, all about us in what must have been millions were purple jellyfish, as they bobbed to the surface it looked like it was raindrops all over the surface of the loch.
The next day and there was an excellent breeze that blew from all points but wafted us along at a grand pace down the west side of Bute and back to Largs. On our way up the Largs Channel this big lump came past us and then stopped off Largs. Have we struck oil off Great Cumbrae?
