We finally left Ullapool after five days sheltering from wind and rain, Sunday evening and Monday were pretty unpleasant, rough sea, high winds and pouring rain. We didn't leave Bathia until Tuesday afternoon because the five minute dinghy ride ashore was not that safe.

An improved weather window on Thursday and Friday allowed us to make some progress North, Loch Inver on Thursday and Kinlochbervie on Friday.

The weather is again keeping us in port, the northerly gale force winds and frequent heavy showers prevent us from rounding Cape Wrath, the extreme North West of mainland UK. Hopefully the seas will calm in a few days and we can move on. There is not much in Kinlochbervie, one shop, one hotel and not much else. One good thing though is a washing machine and dryer in the harbour so we have managed to fully tame the washing mountain. It's also good to be on a pontoon with power, a TV signal and 3G Internet to sit out the bad weather. Unfortunately there is no radio reception here so we're missing our favourite radio two shows.
