Thursday 6 July
My water tanks were emptied by Mate washing up, showering and cleaning the heads, so we could start again with fresh. Skipper washed the city dust off my decks before filling them, while Mate got on with two loads of laundry. For once a warm day with no wind, but then it rained a heavy shower. By the time Mate was back, Skipper had also filled my diesel tanks, and as it was now mid-afternoon, we motored off straightaway for Gare Loch. A selection of wildlife was noted along the way: harbour porpoise, seal, oystercatchers, terns, eider ducks, guillemots and gulls.
