SOUND OF SCARBA
Hunter’s Quay, McInroy’s Point, via Cowal Coast,
Rothesay Bay, Largs Bay and return via
Renfrewshire Coast
|
We again chartered Western Ferries’ SOUND OF SCARBA for another Evening Cruise, this year to a different destination, well off the usual WF beaten track. In perfect weather, we were treated to close-up views of some of the assembled fleet of Fife yachts lying at anchor in Rothesay Bay, before crossing to Largs Bay, encountering a large ship mid-channel on her way up to Greenock. Our return to McInroys Point afforded us the beautiful spectacle of the sun slowly sinking behind the Cowal hills.
