Since the last post we spent two days in Tobermory, which was very picturesque and had a decent supermarket so we could stock up with fresh goods. We even managed a night out and saw RM Hubbert at the Tobermory arts centre, a lung busting venue up a steep hill overlooking the harbour. The music was great, see http://www.chemikal.co.uk/artists/rm-hubbert/ for more info.
We then moved on to the Treshnich Isles about four hours from Tobermory on the West of Mull. Anchoring off Lunga we took the dinghy ashore for amazing Puffin spotting, you can walk right up to their burrows and they happily hop around only an arms reach away. The anchorage was a bit exposed so we sailed onto the island of Coll for the night.
Thursday we sailed onto the island of Rum and anchored in Loch Scresort bay, en route we saw basking sharks, minke whales, dolphins and seals.
Today, we motored across the Hebridean Sea to the outer Hebrides, and are on a mooring buoy in Lochboilsdale. Not much here but the scenery is spectacular and it's very peaceful.
The weather has been incredible this last week, hot and sunny every day. Not quite enough wind but we'll take sun and no wind over wind and rain any day.
