Pressure is lower today and the forecast is poor for today and worse tomorrow. It seems like a good idea to head to Arisaig early to make sure we don’t miss the train on Wednesday! The price reduction which you get for booking ahead to travel on a particular train has a price itself – you have to organise everything round the train journey – makes me wonder if the discount is worth it! We had hoped to visit Eigg, so will have to come back another time.
At least we were sailing downwind, though we slowed a lot when we turned onto a run after passing Rum and took out the reef which had seemed like a good idea before we left but was never really needed. We approached the tricky entrance to Arisaig a little nervously with following wind – good thing we have been in before. Once inside we anchored near the moorings. If tomorrow is wet and windy as the Inshore Waters forecast suggests we might go to Mallaig on the bus.
No special wildlife sightings today – several seals on the way across. Also in Canna harbour some small black ducks with a white wing patch.
