Could not leave Coll soon enough - strong desire by all not to return with that anchorage. Vote had us going back to Tobermory, for showers .
Could not get in to Café fish - so had wicked chilli made By G - but popped into Mishnish for a few !! Then nipped back after Dinner for couple more and darts .

Headed out north of Canna to outer Hebrides...BUT wind decided against it straight from the West. ON the nose with rough seas to boot. So was not long before we decided to head to Coll. Seas were bad cork screwing most of the way - Had to rig a preventer as rolling seas kept the boom swinging across.
Had a group of Porpoises join us - excellent. Eventually got to Coll where we anchored up. Sea was rolling in however. Headed up to the hotel for couple of pints but all were knackered. Which was only added to with the rolling seas at night - much sleep was lost.

Got up sharpish and left for Canna via Tobermory for fuel and a few bits. After Tobermory Motor sailed most of way to Canna , Quite uncomfortable yet wind picked up which helped us in for the last few miles. As the wind was forecasted for 6/7. Bad news was restaurant was shut no longer in business so little reason to go to shore on a deteriorating evening. Seal came to visit for food .
