Day 28

We left Port Ellen at 10am for Crinan, some 40 miles North.  In reality we travelled 38 miles through the water, reflecting the positive tidal flow for almost our entire passage.

Yesterday a square rigger called The Flying Dutchman arrived with a load of Americans on board.

We arrived into Crinan Boatyard at 17.45pm and tied up to a mooring buoy for the night.  On this leg we passed through the 1000 mile barrier, from leaving Lymington.

Crinan Boatyard is beside the entrance lock to the Crinan Canal.  It has a small diesel pontoon that we want to use in the morning to fill up before the boat goes further North as there are only a few fuelling points with pumps as you travel up towards Stornaway.
