Sunday 27th April , F4 from south, 21Km
Not the greatest forecast with gusty winds from the south and an ebbing spring tide to start into. Eight of us set out from just north of the ferry car park and within the hour made it round to Gylen Castle for a look, always worth the visit. Quite choppy relaunching but everyone safely afloat. Ardmore Bay saw one of the team rolled and so very nearly self recovered, but quickly and efficiently rescued by Gordon & Stuart, the rest of the team standing by.
We took a lunch stop out of the chop and wind at Port Phadruig, just as the rain started and finished as we headed back out!
Lovely brisk run up the west coast and after rounding the top of the island back into the weather again down to Heather Island before getting some shelter off the mainland and returning to our start point.
Rain washed, a little tired but happily completed one of several island rounding’s planned for this year. Hoping for better weather on the next one.
