We do have a cat of our own on Gigha. Our mooring is laid just off the Boathouse but for the winter she has been laid up in a very sheltered bay at Gallochoile just round the corner. Unfortunately the small harbour at Port an Duin below Ardailly is too small to get the boat in. We got the boat at Granton in Edinburgh and sailed her through the Forth and Clyde Canal to Bowling on the Clyde. This was a bit of a squeeze as the boat is only 15cm narrower than the lock gates and we got stuck a few times as the lock gates didn't open fully in a couple of places. The whole story will be told elsewhere. We still hope to get away for a few short cruises this year between feverish bits of building. Jura and Islay are just a few hours sail from Gigha as is Crinan and Oban.
This last May Lachlan and myself sailed the boat round the Mull of KIntyre from Campbeltown overnight to Gigha.
