Maidens to Ailsa Craig then on to the southern end of Arran then back to Maidens.

I haven't clocked it exactly, probably around 32 miles all in.

About 60mls from Ailsa Craig but you can follow the coast south and then make a crossing of about 25mls to Bangor marina, which is a good place to be. The water can get bumpy though. It the pic it's obviously silky but I remember about 5 miles further out we were down to about 25-30mph in places.

On a nice day with slack water, open the throttles and you'd be there in no time.

Still not enough bottle to do it on my own.

Jon, I can't get that to work, I just get a blank video screen. I tried clicking on external player and it opened MS media player and took an age even to buffer 5%.
Is there something I need to know?
