The collection around Tobermory harbour on Saturday raised £304.46 for Help For Heroes.
On the 28th we had hoped to sail to Rum and Eigg, but the weather forecast predicted strong winds and rain on Wednesday and Thursday. There are no safe harbours on either Rum or Eigg so we decided to postpone our visit to a later date.
We settled instead for a leisurely sail across the Sound of Mull, to anchor just off of Oronsay Island, in Drumbuie basin. The basin and Oronsay island are within Loch Sunart. The basin was very picturesque with steep sided mountains that turned from green to pink then black as the sun set. The bird song was delightful and redstarts were reported to be in the area.
