W eventually stirred ourselves from our little cove on Garroch Head Bute. We weren't in any hurry and we sat on the water enjoying the misty view to the mountains of Glen Sannox on Arran.
Our indolence was distubed by
Julia and the...
....boys from the
Drumchapel and Clydebank Kayak Club who stormed past, putting us quite to shame.
Our embarrassment was short lived as another high speed craft arrived on the scene.
HMS Defender, D36, is the latests of the Type 45 destroyers to be undergoing sea trials on the Firth of Clyde. She was built in the Govan and fitted out in the Scotstoun yards on the River Clyde.
Despite her sophisticated early warning systems, I doubt we would have appeared on her radar...
...so we were pleased to let her pass, between us and the Little Cumbrae.
