Otter Ferry - 56° 00' 36" N 05° 19' 33" W

With rain forecast for the next few days, we headed to the shelter of Otter Bay in Loch Fyne to sit out the weather.  It is named after the Gaelic term An Oitir for the sandbank that juts out into the loch by nearly a mile. There are, however, otters in the area so seeing an otter in Otter Bay is not out of the question!

The settlement is named Otter Ferry after the now-defunct ferry that ran across the loch. Despite the rain, we had a delightful few days doing boat jobs, wandering along the beach and sampling the menu at the Oystercatcher Pub.

From the end of the otter looking back to shore - hope we've timed the tides right!

It's not often you can walk out to the navigation mark you came around! 
Be sure you leave this one to starboard as you come north.

We had a great few days, Sean's knee has had a good rest and is much improved.  While he will not be partaking in the 100m dash anytime soon, the crutches are now optional.
