We waited at Lochaline for the general store to open at 11.30; we didn't need to depart until shortly after anyway. We visited Lochaline Hotel for a coffee and scone whilst we waited for 1130 to come round. Finally it did. Although we got most items we needed there was no salmon (I had promised the crew a salmon dinner!). It was planned as a good sail along the Sound of Mull to Tobermory, but the wind wasn't right and we ended up motoring most of the way. Tobermory has a bit more to offer than Lochaline; most shops are open, despite it being Sunday, and there are a number of tourists about. There is also a Cooperative supermarket that sells salmon!
The weather looks OK tomorrow for a passage to Mallaig, although we may need to motor as the wind has some north in it! Drat!
Graham's joke:
A bear walks into a pub. The barman asks what he wants.
'I'll have a gin.....................................and a tonic please' says the bear.
'OK' says the barman, 'but why the big pause?'
'Because I'm a bear of course!' says the bear.
(pause...paws).
