We do this because we can: Kevin enjoys the view, bows-to at Modermagan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You Can\u2019t Always Get What You Want….<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Messrs Jagger and Richards for that sentiment, which was foremost in my mind after our adventures in Modermagan Bay. I had promised Kevin he would have at least one bows-to experience during his trip on Arcturus and I had scoped out Modermagan Bay as the perfect place to do it. It was a longer stretch (40nm) than usual but it would leave us well placed to fetch Talinn the following day. By now Kevin was used to the boat and I could trust him to helm calmly and efficiently for hours on end. We again had steady winds on our starboard quarter in the 12-14kt range which was perfectly in the Arcturus wheelhouse and made for an enjoyable and drama free sail to our destination. When we arrived it was picturesque enough but we were disappointed to find there were no good granite rocks to tie up to. The only decent area on the north end of the bay was dotted with green buoys, and a passing yachtsman dropping the hook told me this indicated it was a private club. But on the way in I had seen some promising looking rocks that would have provided good shelter from the wind, which had now moved to the north west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
