Although it was not a particularly strong wind we made very good speed and soon left the Carrick coast behind us.
We now approached the Heads of Ayr and soon we were in both...
...the lee of the wind and the shade of the sun. Dark basalt ridges soared from the shore to the top of the...
....long line of cliffs and it was a relief when we left their shade and got back into the sunlight..
Greenan Castle sits precariously on the very edge...
...of the next headland.
We were still in the lee of the Heads of Ayr but...
...despite the light wind we soon left the ancient walls of Greenan behind.
