A few unexpected problems with engine recommissioning delayed our launch for the season by a couple of weeks. Frustrating – not because time was critical, but the continuing exceptionally fine weather was giving summer temperatures in early April. At last all was put together again with no bits left over, and off we set from Dumbarton. The first short leg was down to Millport, then on to Campbeltown the next day. There we sat out a day of strong winds when the Sanda ferry was unable to reach the island.
