We set off across The Tan with...
...Portencross castle just visible through the mist.
We were bound for the remote west coast of...
...Little Cumbrae island. This island is owned by a "charity" offering spiritual retreats to its many followers. The facts that the yoga is being pursued by the Indian tax authorities for tax dodging and that the Scottish branch of the charity has never filed a financial report to the
Scottish Charity Register did nothing to lessen the deep spirituality we felt as we approached the mysterious island.
Its summit was cloaked in mist as we...
...paddled south along its steep hillside until...
....we arrived below the Stevenson...
lighthouse.
We pulled into the ruined harbour for second breakfast.
Here yogmaster David gave us a lecture on healthy living through yog and pranayam and the benefits of moderate consumption. He warned us of the dangers of eating more than one egg at a time. As always we were only too happy to follow the words of the master. A master who pays his taxes: income tax, VAT and beer duty.
