Loch Moidart to Loch Drumbuie

Hi everyone,
On Thursday 24th we sailed from Loch Moidart to Loch Drumbuie.  Happily we had wind for much of the passage and had a great sail tacking along the N coast of Ardnamurchan.

We spent the morning exploring Castle Tioram.  The weather was perfect.

We departed at 1130 and once again slowly motored around Riska Island and down the loch into the open sea.  Always less stressful retracing one's own track.

Once clear of the loch we hoisted sail and were hard on the wind, tacking along the peninsula towards Ardnamurchan Point.  Twas a great sail in a 6-10 knot WNW breeze.  The wind died as we approached the point and we motored for a while before it returned as we approached Loch Drumbuie.

The entrance to Loch Drumbuie is narrow and rocky.  We once again put the Antares Charts to good use.

We anchored at 1830 in 5m over fine silty mud, very close to where we anchored in 1994.  Tis a very nice location but sadly we only had time for a quick overnight stay.

Here is our 29nm track...
