Well Eamonn, the top one is on the Clyde, but not Loch Fyne or Inchmarnock. Another try?

Donald somewhere between Toward point and Largs, near the shipping lane?
Mmm, on the other hand, maybe looking up towards Loch Striven from north of Rothesay? its the fog thats putting me off :lol:
BTW the bottom pic looks as if Ascog patch could be just out of the right of the pic, with Kilchatten bay behind yer lovely boat? (is it a Bruce Roberts)?
Would I be correct in thinking you came across from the Kyles or Rothesay, stayed over at Largs and headed up the Clyde from there?
If all the above is a load of shart, then although I have never been there, but it could have been taken to the west of Ardrossan?
If I keep going I will probably get it right before christmas 09 :oops: :lol:

That's very good. The top pic was taken there, with Arran in the background. The lower pic wasn't on the Clyde, but in the West; please let me know if you can identify the background, because I don't know where it is.....

Yes, A Roberts 34, very good in a stiff breeze; needs to be F4/5 before she gets out of bed.

IIRC 'tis Islay in the background, taken not long after we emerged from the Sound of Islay to head up the Sound of Jura.
