A short hop round Rubha Coigach and across Enard Bay took us in to
Lochinver by 1000, where we tied up at the now extended pontoons in the
harbour. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny after a cool start, so
we spent most of the day relaxing and reading in the cockpit, save for a
walk round the village bay. The Skipper bought a nice wee book "Of Big
Hills and Wee Men" which tells of the adventures of some Clydeside boys
on the Munros at much the same time as his own earlier days. Next
morning, the early bus took the Mate to Ullapool and dropped the Skipper
near Inchnadamph for an ascent of the Marilyn Beinn Reidh. With only 2
1/2 hours before the return bus, it needed a bit of a push, but was
comfortably done. Back aboard by 1115, a mist descended for a few hours
but cleared later to restore the view of the dominating peak of Suilven.
