Although the forecast was for an unfavourable F5-6 for most of the day there was a window of opportunity around mid-day. The objective was Lamlash but the winds since yesterday had kicked up a substantial swell which the crew judged too uncomfortable for a 'holiday'. So after some 45 minutes beating into a decent SW F4 a decision was made to turn northward and head for the shelter of Rothesay or Port Bannatyne. A swift broad reach was found and the mood was further lightened by the appearance of a pod of dolphins who checked us over for 5 to 10 minutes. We were still making good speed as we entered Rothesay Bay so made for the sheltered waters of Port Bannatyne. Tomorrow we'll try to visit Mount Stuart which has been on the bucket list for far too long!
