The approaching storm...

The N wind had dropped completely by the time I arrived at the seaward side of Ardwall Isle. Looking back into Fleet Bay...

 ...dark storm clouds were gathering above the Galloway Hills.

Out on the reefs on the SW side of Barlocco Isle the sun was still shining but a SW wind was picking up...
 ...as I rounded the isle and caught sight of Ringdoo Point.

The storm clouds were now rapidly moving across the sky.

I was now in the lee of Barlocco, so I hoisted my sail and got ready for a fast ride...
