Campbeltown-Lochranza-Kyles of Bute-Millport
Route http://www.a-trip.com/tracks/view/108353
Apparently, this is one of the most photographed boats in Britain, if not the world. She's the paddle steamer Waverley and she hurried past me through the Kyles of Bute, cloaked in drizzle on a calm sea. She was built in 1946 and travels very fast. Yes, it's the same boat that often appears in Bristol in the late summer.
Light winds and lots of rain and drizzle has been a reason to go walking, so I haven't moved far in Misty, just brief visits to Arran and, now, Millport on Great Cumbrai Island (where most of the known world is listening or watching the Men's Final at Wimbledon). There have been some pretty sunsets though, and we've met some lovely people on pretty boats.
Tomorrow, I'll have new crew and must think about moving on!
