First Trip

Tomorrow is the Clyde Cruising Club rally at Holy Loch. It's also the first Saturday in the month, which means I want to be in Sandbank for the Cowal & Bute Gaelic group monthly get together.

We don't race, so it made sense to head over today.

Alison rowed us over to Robinetta about 11 am and we got everything sorted and left about 12:30.

There was just enough wind to sail at about a knot until we started drifting onto some of the Helensburgh Sailing Club moorings.

We got a little more wind past Kilcreggan.



But mostly we motored in calm water.

We met a couple of other boats and a kayak on the way, and exchanged greetings.

We also spotted Spirit of Callisto on her new mooring outside Rhu. A lovely modern gaff yawl out of Sean Macmillan's Spirit Yachts in Ipswich.
