Towards Salen

Loch Drumbuie is lovely but it was time to move. I need better internet on Wednesday morning for my class and we need to get to Kererra some time!

Southerly winds will head us in the Sound of Mull so I wanted to go west-about Mull. But there is a huge Atlantic swell at the moment. It's predicted as 5 m off Tiree today and 2.5 m off the north-west coast of Mull. 

So we won't do that.

I fancy going into Loch Don at some point. Bob Bradfield speaks glowingly about the wildlife there on his Antares chart. But it's not ideal for internet.

Our usual stop in the Sound of Mull would be Loch Aline. But Salen looks good on paper with southerly winds. 

The tides run south this morning, so we will get some help pointing. And it's only 11 nm. Time to get going.
