We had an early start to catch the strong tide that flows round the Mull of Kintyre. There was no wind, so we had to motor. We hit 11.5 knots on the SW corner of the Mull. Once we reached Machinish Bay the wind picked up a little, so we got the sails up and sailed / motored up to Gigha Island through the sound and anchored in a spectacular little bay with a white sand beach at the North end of the island. A really nice anchorage with a view over the sound of Jura, and the mountains of Jura in the background.
