After a good trip up from Felixstowe to Scotland in lovely weather stopping en-route in the lovely Cumbia and having nice afternoon by a section of Hadrians wall in warm sunshine we arrived in Oban on Tuesday evening as the weather was clouding over :( We were up at 4 in the morning to catch the Tiree ferry and were might by our lovely friends Peter and Sally Ling at 9 in cloudy drizzle :( After catching up in their fantastic beach side cottage and with the wind filling in we headed to Gott Bay, Peter was going to kite while it was just windy enough for by big freeride kit :) The sw wind was sideshore from the right which meant you could sail straight out to sea.There was light rain to start but as the afternoon progressed the sun came out making the clear water and white sand beach look even better :) As the wind was coming off the land it was a bit gusty and the sea lumpy but I had a great 2/3 hours sailing out to the open sea past the rocky islands and the ferry jetty seeing lots of good seabirds including Gannets,Red necked divers,turns and Razorbills :) It was really good session with lots of gybing and unusaully for me not much falling in and the beach side turns were fast for me - great fun - top day :) Mag and I then had a nice walk on the beach and then a lovelly meal with Peter and Sally :)
