Well the weather did improve. Apart from a wet morning near Oban we've had some pretty good conditions in the last few days. From Craobh (pronounced "Crove" but you knew that) south of Oban, we went to Loch Spelve on Mull - a lovely place with deer grazing by the lochside and otters swimming about. Oh yes, and jellyfish. Which is what the abstract work above is. I don't know who wins in the battle between otters and jellyfish but the jellyfish seem to be doing fine!
Then on to Dunstaffnage, near Oban, where we met friends, and then on again to Tobermory in Mull. We stormed up the sound here, aided by our new spinnaker gear, beating several bigger boats (all right,Val points out that they didn't know they were racing!). Tobermory is a lovely, colourful, picturesque town with a famous fish restaurant - fully booked! That's what fame does. But we did have a superb walk over the cliffs. And tomorrow we'll be off again - somewhere or other!
Thanks for the comments on the blog. Others (well the right kind of others) always welcome, but no obligation at all. The blog is mainly to keep friends informed, not to seek support!
Just in case you are back in Tobermory and the restaurant is full again, we can recommend the fish & chip van in the harbour. It is the only "Les Routiers" recommended fish & chip shop that we know of, and a scallop "supper" with a bottle of Viognier (available from the Co-op opposite) can be a good way to celebrate surviving Ardnamurchan Point.
