Lochaline to Tobermory Tuesday 24th August
The rain and windless weather has been replaced by sun and strong gusting wind, down the Sound of Mull. We head off towards Tobermory but the wind is on the nose and gusting 25mph, so we are content to motor. As we head up the sound we see a couple of yachts that are making their way north under sail. With the gusting wind they intermittently heel right over and are forever tacking. We get to Tobermory well ahead of them! It was a lovely trip up the Sound, and for the first time, not on a dive boat!!
We took a pontoon berth and walked into the town for a beer, of course in the Mishnish! We had been looking forward to a shower too, but unfortunately the new facilities for the boat users were not providing any hot water, so for that treat we will have to wait another day! We tried a new Chinese restaurant in town, but were disappointeed with the meal, so we retired to the boat to chill, and plan our next leg. The forecast is good, so we may keep going North.
