Loch Carnan turned out to be a quiet place too spend the night. No noise from the power station or anywhere else. We left against a light headwind, expecting to have to motor for a good part of the way. However the light wind slowly freed until it was from the N and we put up the cruising chute. Progress was still slow and we had to keep a look out for several small ships passing along The Minch. We passed several fishing marks in water more than 100m deep – they must use a good winch to pull them up. Also saw a few grey seals and some distant dolphins.
We eventually reached Canna after sailing all the way about 1 hour after low tide and anchored (at the second attempt) well up into the shallow part of the harbour.
Weather forecast not too good and barometer has slowly fallen to 997 by this evening.
