Loch Sween and the Fairy Isles - June 12th and 13th

From Crinan we headed south to Loch Sween to investigate one of Sue's Dad's favourite anchorages, The Fairy Isles. We took the last of the fair tide down the Sound of Jura, motoring as there was very little wind. The day was overcast but we had a good view of the Paps of Jura.

Keeping a straight course in the swirling tide around the Maccormaig Isles to dodge various outlying rocks was interesting.

The Fairy Isles anchorage is behind a small natural rock wall. We had a very peaceful night here.

We had a good view of Castle Sween when we left the next morning.
