South, a bit North & then South again

JB, Claire & Sooty

After three nights sheltering in Portavadie, the rain and wind reached a crescendo last night topping 42 knots in the marina, we left at 10am to go to Rothesay. We managed to dodge the rain and enjoyed sailing in gusty conditions touching 8 knots through the water which is pretty good for an old lady! It’s the Highland Games here on Saturday and I was nervous we wouldn’t get a slot in the small marina but it’s empty. We will stay until Sunday and unless there is a miraculous change in the weather we will head to Ardrosson in preparation for heading home. I think a lot of people have given up already.
