Is Saltcoats in the Bermuda Triangle

[andyjanet]

Both phones have the latest updates, both phones have been turned off and back on again several times, I was looking at the map and trying to find out if the island near us is Alisa Craig when this happened
What compass do you use in the van ?

You get a great view of Ailsa Craig from Girvan

Ailsa Craig is quite unmistakable - it looks like a volcano emerging out of the sea. If you are at Saltcoats, and its a long mountainous island it will be Arran to the west. You might make out Cumbrae or Bute towards the north.

Thanks I could see what I thought was ailsa but my compass on the phone was telling me a different story, heading toward girvin tomorrow to get a better look ?

I'm much more concerned as to why you're in Saltcoats in the first place!
