Scottish Cruise - Trinity Sailing Sun 24th Aug 2014 Day 2

Woke to a nice sunny day - great but very little wind. Breakfast at 0800 and away from the anchorage by 0915, motoring south in flat calm conditions. Lots of birds, a few porpoises and a distant Minke Whale. Went passed Seil Island, Easdale, the Garvellachs, Insh Island with a hut in a cave, Lunga, Scarva and the Gulf of Corrievreckken to Glengarrisdale Bay at the North end of Jura. Anchored in the bay about 1430, dinghy over the side and away to explore Glengarrisdale by 1515. A nice afternoon sketching the bothy and ruins with only a million midges for company....not too much of a nuisance as long as I kept moving. Back on board I had time for a nap before dinner. After dinner we discussed options for our route over the next few days. Tomorrow we are heading for Loch na Keal near Ulva on Mull (Monday),  then Tobermory on Tuesday ( showers and pub... not necessarily in that order), Loch Sunart on Wednesday. The sound of Mull and around the Loch Spelvie on the South Side of Mull on Thursday, leaving us a short hop across the Linn of Lorne back to Oban on Friday morning. That's the plan anyway but is subject to the weather so may be changed as we go along.
