A Lady like landing.

Our journey to Lady Isle continued unhindered by further ships. About half way across, we could just begin to see the lighthouse on the horizon.

 The mountains of Arran lay far to the west and the wind increased as we paddled further into the open waters of the Firth of Clyde.

As we approached Lady Isle, the sea became shallower and together with a little increase in wind and swell, conditions became  more interesting.

We were delighted when whe made our final approach and went into a...

 close orbit  before...

 ...finally touching down on the far side of the Isle...

...where we enjoyed a hot cup of tea beside the "No Landing" sign.
