Scottish Cruise - Trinity Sailing Sat 23rd Aug 2014 Day 1

I'm away on a week long cruise on a traditional Brixham Sailing Trawler "Leader" with Trinity Sailing.
I arrived in Oban 1245, dropped off my bag at the boat and went off to leave my camper for the week.
Back on board 1315. All the usual briefings and greetings done we left Oban at 1600 bound for Pulladobhrain just a short sail away, unfortunately there were too many smaller vessels for us to anchor safely. We need quite a large area for swinging on our anchor. We retreated and headed for Castlebay on Kerrera, a quiet sheltered anchorage in the current conditions, a little bit of a swell so the boat rocked and creaked all night. A pretty reasonable nights sleep anyway.
A couple of sketches from day 1 and a pic of our boat.
