    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/for...-Coast-Sailing

    Stunning!
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

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