At last the bad weather has moved away and we have a little sun and wind from the NW. After visiting the bakery and co-op we left with reefed main and full genoa and had an excellent fast run down the Sound of Mull, leaving behind the other boats which started at the same time. Wind was NW 4-5 with occasional gusts of 6 when we considered another reef. We passed Duart Point at about slack tide in smooth water, which was good as if the tide had turned against us we would have expected overfalls.
We found our way into Puilladobhrain (pronounced pulldoran) in spite of not being able to see the leading marks. 2 boats were already at anchor. After we returned from our walk ashore there was a total of 5 boats, which is a small number for such the most popular anchorage in the area. Late in the evening the French boat which we met at Eigg arrived and anchored.
Maybe tomorrow we will visit Easdale and Cuan Sound. Follow the
track on Google Maps.
