After a very calm night in Crinan we moved from the Visitor’s Buoy to a very small pontoon very close to the rock face of the bay for fuel. Not for the faint hearted as the wind was blowing us off the pontoon and straight at the rocks. However we made it without too much drama and filled up with diesel from the pump.
We set off for Oban from the fuel jetty at 9.45am and headed through the Dorus Mor, a vicious tidal race if you get it wrong, but a great shortcut if you get it right. We did! Got it right that is……on through the Sound of Luing and into the harbour via the Kerrera Sound.
We Picked up another dolphin escort, first one in a while. Lunch onboard today was “baked” potato and bolognaise a Paul sauce. This year Paul has surpassed himself with really fantastic meals. Not easy to do on a boat galley.
We arrived in to Oban at 14.20pm having covered 21 miles. Mostly motoring but managed a decent sail towards the end of the leg.
