Loch Fyne

[Grooveski]

Had a nice wee four day trip there. Out at Scotty's again.

Gailainne's rig gets more impressive every time I see it.

Home-sweet-home.

Friday was hot.

Numpties ahoy!

Scott not looking bothered about his snapped paddle. Kev not looking phazed by his first time in a canoe turning into a four hour saga. As lumpy as it may look here it's nothing to what it was like an hour or so earlier.

We watched a pod of dolphins hunting the loch mouth when we were out last month. Was good to see them again closer to shore this time.

A few pics from a wander up the hill. Click the panorama for a bigger image.

I took a few photos, too busy playing with all the toys I took down

These were taken on the Friday morning, just glorious, the boat shot is about 6:30

Saturday, the weather changed a bit

The camp

Scott and Kevin's triumphant arrival

I thought this was a plane at first, I kid you not, no movement at all from its wings

Zoomed in, A Golden Eagle in all its glory.

Brilliant 4 days, really just what the doctor ordered to chill me out. And no ticks !!! first trip in the summer EVER with no ticks embedded somewhere or other .

How were the stabilisers Stephen ?

.......How were the stabilisers Stephen ?

Put it this way, I think the guys would have been glad of them on Sunday, we had to bail the canoes all the way back.

Blimey, bit choppy then ?

Loving the new sail

 

[Grooveski]

Aye. Was a bit bouncy. Not too windy but the waves were coming in from the loch mouth so had twenty-odd miles of fetch.
The worst were bigger pairs. You'd drop down the trough between them then the second wave would break right on top of you. We were bailing all the way too and I was kneeling in a good three inch puddle at one point.
The cold and drizzle robbed it of some of the entertainment factor but even with it being miserable and borderline dodgy it wasn't too bad.

A-hula-hula-hula-hu!

(Decided that bouncy canoe trips are best likened to using hula-hoops, so naturally were singing mock Hawaiian songs at the worst bits )
