Tobermory

Today we wake up at mooring in rainy Tobermory harbour. The town looks
promising with brightly collored houses and nice looking shops. The
girls will like this.
Yesterday started in Loch Nevis. A very impressive totally remote loch
with just a few houses and 'the remotest pub in Brittain' that turned
out to be a great find.
We sailed all the way to the head of the Loch (some tricky navigation
through narrow with strong currents) and anchored to enjoy the
fantastic mountain views and total silence. Nobody there.
Our plan to then go visit the Armadale castle gardens had to be
abolished over strong Northerly winds that created a swell in Armadale
bay. At a spur we decided to use the Northerly wind (fairly rare here)
and make a dash for Tobermory. For 45 min or so we had rough waves in
wind against tide at Ardnamurchan point (no fun) but otherwise we had
a very fast beautiful 'sleigh-ride' which included blue skies,
stunning views of Sky, Rum and Egg, diving Gannets (they drop into the
sea like dive bombers) sightings of Manx Shearwaters (puffinus
puffinus) a sundowner at sea and arrival in Tobermory with a remainder
of twilight and the moon just rising above the mountains...
