Cue the Cumbraes!

Sunday dawned sunny with a chilly NW wind. The mountains of Arran rose above the Great Cumbrae Island but the recent snow had melted.

 Phil, Mike, Andrew, Colin,...

 ...Alison, Simon and I set off from Largs Yacht Haven...

 ...across the Largs Channel towards...

...the north end of the big Cumbrae. But first we had to wait in a queue. The ferry from Largs had beaten us to it and both the local sailing school and ourselves had to wait for the MV Loch Shira to clear the jetty.
