Better weather, Loch Hourn to Mallaig

We had a lovely quiet night in the anchorage and woke to spectacular views. After a light breakfast I took Worm out to take pictures. I took a couple of Robinetta.











 
Landing on the island was difficult because of the bladderwrack.

I did get a shot of a pair of seals and the bluebell wood from the boat.

On the mainland shore the rocky outcrop had one good landing spot and from the top I could get decent zoom shots of Robinetta although the light wasn't really right.

The clouds over the snow capped monroes made another lovely subject.

Back aboard it was time to haul up the anchor. It was easy but we had a lot of chain out. The anchor came up really clean. It would have been nice to explore the upper loch but we preferred to make for Mallaig. The wind was not favourable and we motored out of the loch and then motor sailed to Mallaig.

We got there around 2pm and suddenly it was hot and sunny. We picked a pontoon berth where I thought we would not get blown on when the gale came, and tied up, then lifted Worm out of the water and onto the end of the pontoon before going for lunch.

Later, I finally got to refit the missing quarter knee to Worm and reattach the loose thwart. Alison put a coat of varnish on the new boat hook.
