Loch Ryan - Scotland here we come.

On Sunday 11th May the wind was fair for us to sail across the North Channel to Scotland. The tide would also help push us up to the northern end of the Mull of Galloway. We left at 9.30am and after a little drizzle the visibility cleared ahead for us to see the Scottish Coast. By 14.30 we were rounding Corsewell Point and heading into Loch Ryan. At 16.20 we anchored in The Wig, a sheltered anchorage on the west side of the Loch about 3.5nm north of Stranraer. The waters of the Loch were familiar to us as we had dinghy sailed whilst staying in a holiday cottage overlooking the Loch back in 2007. It was wonderful to fulfil a dream of spending the night at anchor in our own boat in the Loch.
