As we paddled into Brodick Bay in the sunset, we were not alone. A Royal Navy type 23 frigate was exercising in the Firth. She is possibly HMS Somerset who has been involved in tracking a Russian submarine in the approaches to the Firth of Clyde.
Next we came across two tankers. Askholmen and...
...Bro Deliverer. Both were waiting to go up to the terminal at Finnart on Loch Long.
We slipped unnoticed along the hull of Bro Deliverer from stern past...
...midships...
...to her bow. From her anchorage it was only a short distance to the...
Brodick ferry terminal. We did not have long to wait until our ferry home, MV Caledonian Isles, arrived at her berth.
It had been a fantastic winter day during which we had covered 30km and introduced another paddler, Maurice, to paddle sailing. It could not get much better, or colder...or could it?
