Back from our voyages
We have been away for three days and strangely enough for Scotland experienced wall to wall sunshine with wind, sometimes maybe a little bit too much wind. But then yachtsmen are notoriously fickle and generally never happy with what is presented weather wise. Julie and I sailed to the new marina at James Watt Dock in Greenock where we were offered a free trial berth for the night. Good place, sheltered, easy access with all new pontoons and most facilities. At the moment, as you can see from the photo, plenty of spare berths but I'm sure that it will be successful in due course.
On our way downriver we passed this large vessel alongside at Ocean Terminal, this was the second large passenger ship in two days. We sailed on to Troon where David joined on the Sunday morning. We then had a spirited sail across to Lamlash on Arran where we anchored for lunch before a speedy sail back to Largs in North Westerly 4. Bit of tipping and wall to wall sunshine, a rare combination of sun and wind! Over 80 miles for the weekend.
