We paddled east across the Firth of Clyde towards the Little Cumbrae island. To its north we could just make out the Victorian Villas of Millport on the neighbouring Great Cumbrae.As we approached...
...the wind gradually died away leaving a glassy calm sea upon which...
.
...the reflections of clouds gently rolled on the gentle swell.
It was 5pm and the sun was well round to the west, which gave a wonderful light on the south west side of the Little Cumbrae.
The Stevenson lighthouse was clearly illuminated as was the distant
PV Audacia and accompanying
tug Battler. Audacia is a 225m pipe laying vessel.
The clarity of the evening light added to the sharpness of the reflected clouds which lined up over the Little Cumbrae.
As we passed the south end of Little Cumbrae we embarked on the second last leg of our trip, the crossing of Fairlie Roads to Farland Head on the Ayrshire coast.
Fabulous second image Douglas - calendar material?!
