True, but if it's p-ing down a bar & some pub food might be a good option.....
No idea where people are launching / moored, but what about a day trip to the Fyne Brewery? Only real down side is the RSPB might complain as you wake the sparrows on the way out - It's a 120 odd nautical mile round trip from Largs and probably a 3 hr run each way @20 knots....
Plenty of places round Arran, although a dinghy might be useful? Not checked the tides but are there not a few beaches in Loch Gilp & up the shores of Loch Long? Top of Loch Goil has a sandy beach and a visitor's pontoon to prevent a long wait!
I'll happily run with whatever the majority wants, as I still don't know if I'm free or not!
