Fantastic weather

Not long back from six days away on Tarawa.  Didn't venture beyond the Clyde but why would you when the Kyles of Bute must be one of the most scenic sailing waters in the world.  Last night, Saturday, it was a tad congested with the Kames Hotel moorings all occupied as was the anchorage at Blackforeland Bay with four yachts in situ.  Normally we have it too ourselves.  The little south facing bay on Bute, opposite the Kames Hotel, was empty, so we spent a very quiet night there in 9m of depth a few metres off the beach and rocks.  Woke to the sound of gulls, oyster catchers and sheep all up and about at 5:30.  
Fantastic weather, but here in Scotland you can't have sunshine with a good breeze, well not very often, so quite a lot of motoring as well.  Back to the big boat on Wednesday.
