Saturday 21 September 2013 – Gigha to Campbeltown

Left Gigha early (6:30), motored to the S end of the island and then had a beat down to the Mull of Kintyre, continually checking if we were still in time to catch the tide.  Rounding the corner, we kept a little way out to avoid what looked like rough water and could at last ease sheets.  We seemed too late to have tide with us in Sanda Sound, so went outside Sanda.  We then used the cruising chute for the first time for ages.  A good passage.
