1st Oct - Loch A Choire on to Loch Aline

Last outing of the season.  Went for a quick dash across Friday night from the mooring to Loch Choire with Pam (my Pam) and Pete. This is a morning shot of the hills around us.

Loch Choire


Had more of a motor in mist to Loch Aline. Stayed at the new pontoons, which were very nice, and hardly any one there. But a bit pricey considering all the facilities are still to come £25!   Walked into town,  where we had a drink at the Loch Aline Hotel  - passed it's best perhaps !   Should have gone to the working mens clubs that's where all the action seemed to be!

The evening sun set was brill however...

28th August Oban Home








Wild winds 40knots got in shelter of Lismore and motored.  To wild for pictures that day so here is a little clip of the trip instead.

27th August Sunart to Oban



Brill Sail down Mull  to Oban

26th August - Moidart to Loch Sunart



Left Moidart for Coll and ended up going to Sunart - as the wind was on the nose the whole way to Coll (

25th August Tobermory to Loch Moidart




Woke to a wonderful morning  -  Headed out off Tobermory turned left towards Ardnamurcdan point, wind was mixed so bit of sailing and motoring towards loch Moidart.  The entrance entrance to Moidart was a challenge, having to wind our way through a channel in it what seemed like a expanse of water. But what a fantastic place.  Best anchorage by far on the west coast so far! Tucked in behind a forest covered island  next to another with a Castle on it.   Dave turned up within an hour of us and, anchored close by. We all went to visit the castle,  motoring over a mil pond,  Dave Neil and crew came over for drinks post dinner and just made it back!
