Early on an October morning, Phil and I drove over the
high pass above the Kyles of Bute. The Burnt Islands were caught in a momentary blink of sunshine that managed to break through the thick mist.
We had left one car at
Colintraive which is the mainland terminal for the ferry which runs over the Kyles to Bute...
...and drove over the narrow roads to
Portavadie on the west coast of the Cowal peninsula which is on the shores of Loch Fyne. The new
marina here serves breakfast and morning coffee.
We paddled round some of the modest boats in the marina before heading off on another adventure...
