This morning started well. Sunshine & showers (of the gel & shampoo type) a leisurely departure with full tanks and one reef in the main, just in case. We left the very sheltered Kinlochbervie to find the reef wasn't needed so out it came. A couple of tacks and we had cleared the rocky entrance and we settled down on the port tack we then proceeded to 'bounce up & down in the same hole' as not for the first time this holiday the sea left over by the previous windy weather was confused and the wind too little to help us power through it. Some showers have provided dome respite, from the need to motorsail, but sadly only briefly. Even the Old Man of Stoer looked suitably dour as we went by! First Mate is now creating in the galley and our ETA in Isle Ristol is about 1900. Had the forecast conditions of a force 4 north westerly been accurate we should have had a cracking day. I only hope that the upcoming forecast of a southerly is equally so!
