Saturday 18 May 2013 – Caladh Harbour to Cairnbaan (Crinan Canal)

We had already heard that Simon and Margaret Shaw were to be in Cairnbaan today and so we planned to join them.  In the shelter of Caladh there was no wind, and hardly any in the West Kyle, so we motored almost to Ardlamont Point, then had a beat all the way to Ardrishaig, where we entered the canal.  The canal people provided VIP treatment and helped us through some locks and allowed us to leave the gates open on others so that we could get to Cairnbaan before they went home at 5pm.

Drinks at the pub. Food on our boat.

Near Ardlamont Point.  Arran in the distance.
