Monday 7 June Jura to Crinan







After a peaceful nights sleep it was up early to be at the distillery to book the 9:00 tour. Then the fog descended with less then 100m visibility at times , we actually took a compass ashore to find our way back. We were in the door as soon as it opened to ask for the tour, only to be told today is fully booked so it was 2 fingers up to Jura distillery and we will take our trade else where. There was not anything else to do on the island so we tested the radar and headed off in the fog for Crinan. After a couple of hours we left the fog and the sun came out leaving us with a gentle motor round before picking up a buoy near the canal gates. G & T on deck in shorts what a rarity.

On Tuesday we booked a couple of bikes and cycled the 9 miles to the astern end of the canal watching the yachts transiting the locks. The rain held off until that evening and then the heavens opened.
