Started in 4-8knots westerly that faded to nothing drifted around a bit then motored for an hour until the wid filled in WNW rising to 14-18 knots sailed rest of the way and picked up last mooring in Millport

No wind as we left Millport under power. As we approached Largs wind filled in from the North on the nose ended up motoring whole way and picked up a mooring off Rhu narrows RNCYC.

Yet another wonderfully sunny day started out in 15knts of wind one reef. Tacked down loch Fyne then shy reach as the wind dropped to nearly nothing on South point of Bute. Motored last bit into harbour and picked up a mooring.

Wonderful sail from Holy Loch started in an Easterly 14knts rose to 20knots NE then dropped to 12knots Easterly up the Kyle. Sunshine all the way gorgeous. Picked up Hotel mooring.

No wind at top of loch then variable easterly until in Clyde the 8-14knts. Manoeuvred to watch the Loch Longs racing. Sailed on to Holy Loch. Wind off the pier and port side too hard along side as distance off difficult to judge.

Sailed and motored with lunch stop at Carrick castle wind died as progressed up the loch past Coulport

Sailed from Rothesay in SW 8-24knts. Wind died 7 miles to run motored last bit. Poor mooring approach tried to turn too quickly rather than longer approach.

Started out from Portavardie in SW15-30 knts under reefed headsail and motor until into West Kyle then under sail only in 6-15knts. Beautiful scenery and sail to Rothesay, spotted a whale on way into harbour. Alongside outer harbour

Second half of Crinan canal and then across to Portavardie. Rain all day again. Motor sailed across Loch Fyne. Into modern marina
