Monday 31 July
A nod to another landmark today, familiar from listening to the coastal weather forecast: Ardnamurchan Point. We didn’t so much round the headland as view it a distance astern, as we reached Northwest through the Sound of Rhum past the Small Isles of Muck and Eigg. Headed by Kinloch Castle, Loch Scresort on Rhum was already busy and we had to forego our ideal position in the anchorage.
Four more yachts squeezed in after us, but none carried noisy crews. Our evening was punctuated instead by rain, jiggy motion and enough breeze to make the windgen whine.
