Long time no see as sailing has taken a back seat for the past year for body falling apart type reasons but now back at the helm again

Anyway, we are currently in Port Ellen and blessed with sun and want to go over to Gigha but there are fresh (F5-6) south easterlies forecast for overnight. I know Gigha (Ardminish) is a rolly pig in an easterly but wonder if we would get some protection anchored in the lee of the reef that comes out (the one with the buoy on the end).
Any comments would be appreciated - thanks.
