Friday 15 July 2011 – Gometra to Bunessan

Left Gometra at the usual leisurely hour, and sailed South – beating of course.  Passed Staffa and took yet more photos and eventually reached Loch na Lathaig, which is on the N coast of the Southern arm of Mull, called the Ross of Mull. The head of the loch is said to be sheltered, so we anchored near the fish pier at Bunessan. 

Got wet in the rain doing our shopping and searching for mobile phone signal.  Met botanist and her helpers.  She was nearing the end of cataloguing the flora of Mull, having worked on it for 15 years.  Returned to the boat, read books and knitted during heavy rain.

3 more boats arrived.
