Yesterday we set off for a short sail to Loch Sunart. As we left Tobermory we were hailed by Scottish Lady, one of the boats that was holed up with us in both Lowestoft and Arbroath waiting for weather. We were tempted to turn round and go back in but as they said they were staying for at least two days we carried on with our planned sail for that night but decided to return to Tobermory next day.
On the way down the Loch we passed yet another casualty of the storm. (thank God for Arbroath with its storm gate which the harbour master kept shut for two days!!)
Spent the night on a mooring at Salen a place reported to have a lovely pub and restaurant. There were no visitors moorings left but a local told us that one of the permenant ones belonged to the Laird and he used it very infrequently, to go to the pub, so we jumped on that one. This meant unfortunately that we couldn't go to the pub ourselves in case he turned up and wanted us to move.
Today we sailed back to Tobermory and met up with both Scotish Lady and Reiner, the German chap who was also safely moored in Arbroath for a week.
Scotish Lady are travelling with their dog on board. Here she is being taken ashore in the tender for a walk, she seems to have adapted well to life at see.
