Up early this morning and got all the bedding washed before breakfast. We also had time for a short walk up to the monument on the end of the Island. The wind was strong and from the NW, so a good day to not go sailing. We did still have to move from Kerrera to Oban North Pontoons and even that was quite choppy, but only half a mile across a sheltered bay, this was to facilitate getting supplies for the boat. Feeding four people instead of two soon runs down the larder and we also needed Calor gas.
Once the groceries and gas had been bought we then treated ourselves to chocolate drinks and cake in the Oban Chocolate Cafe before wandering up to Dunollie Castle which we arrived at, just as it closed. Where had the day gone, it was gone 4pm already! We strolled back to the marina in time to see a yacht that had left earlier being escorted back to harbour by the RNLI. The yacht had reported it was taking on water, (sinking) but must have been sorted on the way back as the boat wasn’t lifted out of the water.
No rain today, but it certainly was windy.
