Bute - Rothesay and Port Bannatyne


The sun was shining for our return to the boat on June 5th. The following day we left Largs after an early lunch in the marina bistro, heading for Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. We motored over as there was very little wind. Our arrival coincided with that of the CalMac ferry, closing the port entrance for 20 minutes or so.

Once the ferry had left we were able to berth in the inner harbour.

Whilst at Rothesay we re-provisioned the boat and enjoyed the use of the rather splendid Victorian toilets!!

The next morning we left the harbour to move just up the coast to Port Bannatyne. We were expecting heavy rain in the afternoon so we didn’t want to go far.  This lengthy passage took all of 35 minutes, giving us time for a pleasant walk before the rain set in.
