Ardrossan to Millport

The weather was a complete contrast to yesterday. Today we had a gentle SW breeze and enough sunshine to warrant the wearing of shorts. We set off intending to head for the town of Largs with a short lunch stop at Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae. We only had seven miles to go, so we weren't in any hurry. We sailed for the first hour, and covered about three nautical miles when the wind dropped.
We motored into Millport Bay and picked up one of the visitors buoy. John opened the bottle of red wine, French bread, cheese, olives and pâté for lunch.
We liked the look of Millport so I blew up the inflatable dinghy and we went ashore. We decided to stay the night on the mooring and enjoyed an indian meal in a quayside restaurant where I could look out of the window to check on Calviere II.
