5th Oct - Loch Corrie

Nipped up for the last weekend of the Season to before i left Grania  At yard to be lifted out. Pam and myself headed over to Loch Corrie for a quiet evening. David Punton And friend Dougie were also in the loch so popped over for a night cap that went on to near midnight. Next morning was lovely which is when the pictures were taken.

25th August - From the Mooring to Poldoran

Had Hauke from Work over - so headed up early Saturday, and had a wonderful sail with the wind off the starboard quarter. 7+ Knots most of the way. Sailing down the side of Lismore. A little over cast but Sun came out once we go to Poldoran.

Porpoise around the boat

Day started of Dull but pottered up Sunart with some sail every now and again. Exploring Drumbuie Bay on route them head down the Mull.  Sun eventually came out and we got the cruising sail up as well.

August 18 - On route to Canna



No one can look at the driver!!

Happy Crew !

Thoughtful Crew

Canna Bay

Crew Grania
A fast and wild (at times) ride to Canna - went north of Rum 25+ knots of wind until we came round the western tip of Rum and had a beat down to Canna where is rose to 30+ knots over the deck. With Three reefs in and most of the Genoa rolled away = fun 


Had some porpoise following us for a while which distracted every one for 10 mins.

Got to Canna and as you can see the sun came out.  Went ashore for a couple of drinks in the only Pub, Cafe, shop, restaurant on the island.
