After a fairly big day yesterday (pic from yesterday below) I was surprised how good progress was today.
Calum had met me on arrival into Carradale last night. The sun was fading fast and it was still (nae wind) cold and damp once the tents were pitched. We were in our beds at about 10pm, I was done in, even with the second wind that carried me across the Kilbrannan Sound.
This morning we paddled from Carradale Bay south to cross in front of Campbeltown Loch. We got to Island Davaar at about 1200 hours and then got hit with wind for the schlep south. After a couple of headlands we got a bit of tide that scooted us round to Arranman’s Barrels then on to Dunaverty past some nice small swell rolling through the kelp. Not as big a day as yesterday, but then, Calum’s new to kayaking 😉
Good, he’s laughing and saying aye right!
Tomorrow is in the lap of the Gods. Wind forecast for rounding the Mull is marginal, closer inspection at sun-up required.
Good night. Oh and thanks and best wishes to all those recent sponsors. I think we can safely say that the fundraising is a success, lets make the trip follow suit.
