Dunstaffnage Bay
We had an excellent fish and chip dinner at The Wide Mouthed Frog at Dunstaffnage with friends Sheena and Jim, who live locally. At night, Innes and Janice arrived for the weekend. Sadly, Saturday proved dreich in the extreme, not inspiring us to venture out, so a visit to Oban by car was made instead. Sunday turned out better, with a light breeze giving us a gentle sail down through Oban bay and Kerrera Sound. A phone call from the marina announcing more visitors had us retracing our route to meet up with Sheila and Gordon, who had come up to Oban for a weekend break. We enjoyed a drink and chat with them for the rest of the afternoon. Monday morning saw us rising very early to see Innes and Janice off to Glasgow for Janice’s flight back to London and work. After lunch we went over to Loch Aline to anchor for the night. Today we had a cracking sail up Loch Linnhe to Port Ramsay at the north end of Lismore. With downdraft from the Morvern hills we seemed to have even better wind than the West Highland Week fleet, which was sailing up the island shore on their race round Lismore. Tomorrow we leave Arctica at Barcaldine, Loch Creran while we return home for a week.
