Friday 10th July - Salem to Arisaig
Salem to Arisaig 36 miles
Left Salem at 9:30am after strong winds last night and D periodically dashing on deck to strap down something else making a noise. Gusty winds and fog chased us down loch Sunart. Headed for the Ardnamuchen point with tide with us achieved up to 9knots at times. Sea very squirmy - so Dermot wasn't allowed to leave the helm. Despite a full bladder :).
Only saw 5 other boats in the 6 hours it took us to get to Arisaig. Mind you it was foggy. Pam eventually sailed when sea state and wind quitened down and Drmot was a happy man😤
We anchored as no moorings available and eventually motored ashore in the dinghy to walk and find the train station. Also found a bustling pub showing the Andy Murray match at Wimbledon. Shame about the result.
Dinner was home cooked bolognese with locally sourced beef - very good.
Overnight lots of rain and D woke to check the anchor at 2am. All ok. Best sleep in days!!
