We paddled out into the Sound of Bute and unleashed the sails, ready for a 12 km downwind blast back to Portencross.
At first the wind was light but even so...
...paddle sailing proved faster than yachting.
The wind increased as we approached Garroch Head...
...and we virtually flew across the Firth of Clyde Channel towards Little Cumbrae island.
It was big smiles all round as...
...we made our final approach below the Stevenson lighthouse...
...leaving the island of Bute far in our wakes.
It was time to break out into the lee of Little Cumbrae for a light luncheon.
