The Waverley Paddle Steamer arrives at Ayr, picks up new passengers and sets sail out into the Firth of Clyde toward the beautiful island of Arran, sailing past the Holy Isle. This simply has to be one of lifes wonderful and truly elegant Victorian pleasures. If you have not yet tried a cruise on the Waverley, I urge you to do it soon, the summer cruising season from June to October is all too short!.
For our American, Canadian, Australian and European cousins, a day trip up the Clyde from Ayr docking at Largs, then accross to Millport on the isle of Cumbrae, from there to Rothesay on the isle of Bute on the way to Tighnabruaich and onward to Tarbert and a cruise up Loch Fyne.
At the top of the Kyles of Bute, we pass through a narrow channel with rock outcrops only feet from the paddle boxes on either side. To port the steep banks on Bute and to starboard the 1,600 foot Ben Bhreac make for the most spectacular cruising imaginable, all topped off with a lovely meal served in the elegance of the onboard restaurant. The steady slapping rhythm of the paddles, the hiss of steam and the wonderful aroma of the gigantic, living steam engine make this one of the worlds truly un-missable and memorable experiences.

My family loves to go floating. If you’ve never tried it, we can get you started. Most important: always wear a life vest…even if you’re a strong swimmer. Canoes are unstable, so to be safe, stay low…stay in the middle…and don’t move around a lot. Hold the paddle with one hand over the grip, and the other about 6-inches above the blade. Insert the blade near the side of the canoe and dig down until your bottom hand almost touches the water, and sweep back. As the blade leaves the water, flatten it like an airplane wing. Bring the blade forward…keeping it close to the water…and repeat. To move backwards, reverse the motion. To turn the canoe, use a drawstroke. Insert the paddle out in the water with the flat side facing you. Pull back with your lower hand. Reverse that stroke to turn back. Insert the paddle right next to the canoe and push away with the bottom hand. These are basic beginner strokes. The stern paddler needs to know a variety of strokes to steer…so put the beginner up front.
