Went on another sailing trip recently from Ardfern (south of Oban) to Derry/Londonderry in Northern Ireland. Called by Craighouse in Jura and Rathlin Island off the north coast of NI.

The weather was a complete opposite to the previous trip; cold, wet, misty, strong wind and high sea except the last day.

For those interested my first trip photos are here http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?22589-West-Coast-Sailing

Yes, quite an interesting place and only one pub in the whole island. Here are some more photos of Rathlin Island.


An upside-down light house with the light at the bottom - it's the only Irish lighthouse with a red light
