Day 60 Mar 10th Ardrishaig to Port Bannatyne

 After the high winds of last night ,we need to make a quick dash in the fresh winds to Port Bannatyne on Bute. Its a bit of a roundabout route but some beautiful scenery.  Again if it's all a bit too feisty we will stop early at. either Tarbert or Portavadie.

On leaving the canal, head South using the lighthouse on the breakwater as a back bearing and exit between the red and green bouys on a bearing of 135

Continue south for about 1.5 hrs and follow the port coastline past the lighthouse on Sgat Mor  and on a bearing of  110° on past Andlemont Point.  (Red port marker No 47') turning N at this point. Follow the" Kyles of Bute" to the northern most point of Bute (the land on the right).  Waypoint"C" on the map below

We then turn southeast and thread our way through the small islands. There are two routes clearly bouyed.  

Finally keep to the centre of the Loch and follow the starboard coast until we reach Port Ballantyne 

Trip 27   about 5 hrs
