A rare combination


Despite what they say we do get lots of warm sunshine here in
Scotland, and it doesn't get much warmer than it was over the weekend.
Generally with a high pressure area plonked over the UK it also means
little wind but this was the exception on Saturday and Sunday.
I got together a scratch crew of Julie, Lynne and Sheena and we
undertook an epic voyage to Millport from Largs, some 3 miles, and
anchored off the pier in the sure knowledge of a timetable that no
paddle steamers would be interrupting our evening. When we took the
photographs there wasn't a breath which is the norm on an evening but
then a brisk Easterly picked up and stayed with us all weekend,
tremendous sailing weather and being on the water it was just a
comfortable temperature on board. Ah if only it could be like this
every summer.


Thanks to Lynne for being photographer and for her sommelier duties
pouring the wine.
