My laptop connected well in the cabin but Alison's didn't so she took it up to the shore. After a while mine stopped working too. Alison came back and said "It's probably the two large yachts that just came in between us and the shore." Sure enough we were now screened from the base station.
We wanted to look in the museum and book dinner at the Fish Cafe, which is supposed to be good. As we got to the Cafe Flying Dutchman a big steel gaff ketch (or perhaps brigantine - she sets two square sails on the main) came in.
The cafe could fit us in at 10 pm or 6 pm tomorrow. We decided to book tomorrow. The F7 might keep us in Tobermory. The museum is well curated and we chatted with the chap who runs it. As we walked back I said if we were going to be in town all evening and maybe tomorrow I wanted to move Robinetta to where we could see the wifi. The wind was still pretty strong but I managed to get her into another finger while Alison caught the lines from the shore. I fluffed the first go and it could have been a problem if another boater hadn't helped.
The worst bit was Alison had to let the forward line go so I could go around again. I had to run up to the fore deck to retrieve it before it went under the boat and fouled the prop. It is the first time I've gone forward single handing and under power. It was fine.
We will wait for the weather forecast at 7 am to see if we can go south or if we should stay.
