A simple one today using the tides through Cuan Sound to visit Easdale Island. We shared our lunch stop with a busy otter catching and eating lunch too. Back through the sound at the beginning of the ebb, it was a bit of a grind on the return with head winds much more than forecast so we simply hand railed around Arduaine back to our launch. Another 25km covered..
A perfect day around Luing and Shuna though with an ebbing tide all day it was never going to be easy, we were hoping to sneak up the west coast of Luing and get through Cuan sound for the last of the ebb, we did good, some amazing eddies taking us up but we were eventually pushed back by tide close to Fladda, no problem, we jumped onto the south going flow for a free ride and then bimbled around Shuna, lots of weather but bloody good to back here and a solid 35kms covered..
