Sunday 31st July. Campbeltown.
An early start. Going around the mull of Kintyre. Campbeltown is absolutely beautiful, like something I would expect to see in Scandinavia.

Tuesday 26th July. Craighouse anchorage.
Great sail from Oban, strong tides all the way. The gulf of Corryvechan. Only the foolhardy enter. The photo doesn't do justice to this weird looking mountain on Jura. It looks like it's been painted by numbers.
Sunday 24th July heavy heavy rain.
I've had enough of isolation and bad Internet, I'm heading for Oban, they'll all have to put up with my covid cough.
Saturday 23rd July. Seil Island anchorage.
Too much wind in the forecast so I'll stay another night.
Friday 22nd July - Seil anchorage.
Not a breath of wind so I'll stay here for another day. This was from yesterday on the passage here. There's a nice pub nearby and this is next to it.
Thursday 21st July - Seil Island anchorage
Puilladobhrain. My anchorage for the night. Mull in the distance.
Wednesday 20th July. Tobermory anchorage.
Carmel, Lawrence and Cleo have left and I have moved to a lovely peaceful anchorage spot.
Tuesday 19th July. 2nd night Tobermory.
Beautiful morning. Raining in the afternoon. The fleeces have gone back on.
Saturday 16th July - Loch Aline.
On the way from Oban to Lochaline. It's nice here, we're going to stay a second night.
Friday 15th July - Oban 2nd day.
Sunset in Oban. Lawrence and Carmel arrived at 7am after a 5 hour hold up on the M5.
Thursday 14th July. Oban.
Awaiting Lawrence, Carmel and Cleo's arrival this evening. Or tomorrow morning as they're stuck on a motorway behind a burning vehicle.
Wednesday 13th July. Anchored near Fort William.
Ben Nevis. I'm back in the same spot that Paul and Jenny rescued me from last year. Corpach Basin. Waiting to go to sea.
Sunday 10th July. Fort Augustus.
and the wind has strengthened, I suppose I'll have to face it sooner or later.
Saturday 9th July. Loch Ness.
Strong headwinds on Loch Ness. I've decided to anchor in the shelter of this headland by Urquhart castle until it calms down a bit.
8th July. Going up through the locks at Muirtown.
Bad photo but it's the only one I took. Dochnagaroch. I got exactly the same parking space as last year.
Tuesday 5th July. Rosemarkie Bay anchorage.
I could be waiting weeks for the right conditions to go around the top of Scotland so I've decided to go through the Caledonian canal instead.
Saturday 2nd July. Still in Nairn.
Stephan and Andrea flew home this morning and now the heavens have opened. I might be here for a while, no point in rushing to go further north until I get a better forecast for going over the top.
