Leg 37

Ullapool to Lochinver Friday 3rd September
Another flat calm sunny day, so we are off to see if we can find a dive for Anne and Rob in the Summer Isles. The sea is like a mill pond as we make passage for the islands. On the way we do a bit of research via iPhones and discover there is a shallow wreck that could be suitable. Once we get to the little bay, the only way to find it is to literally go look for it! So into the tender, Anne navigating with the iPhone, Rob peering over the side with a mask on and Ivan steering - and they actually see the wreck on the sea bed!!! Anne & Rob are soon in the water, and have a grand dive. The pick up is via the tender too - although a bit small to get in, the gear is chucked in and they fin back to the boat! Fun on and in the water had by all!
As we head up the coast to Lochinver, we are joined by a massive pod of dolphins - a real treat. Once in the harbour, there is a mackeral spectacle too - the water is literally boiling with fish, as there is a shoal in there feeding on all the small fry - amazing to see, but we don't catch any, as Anne n Rob veggie, so not an option for tea! A great day had by all.
