Onwards and northwards

Leaving the bustle of Oban, we headed north.
There are indeed strong tidal streams just south of the Sound of Mull.
Jean and I had a pleasant sail to Tobermory.


Tobermory

Tobermory is good.
We were welcomed by the Harbour Master. There is excellent shelter.  The loos and showers are luxurious. The pontoons are intact. The wifi works.  Electricity is included in the price   .....   and all this for £15.   And the sun shone.

Eat your heart out Oban.

On Friday we took the bus to Dervaig for lunch at the Ballachroy Hotel.


The Ballachroy Hotel in Dervaig on Mull (Scotland, Europe *).


Salmon and cream cheese sandwiches and a glass of beer. A walk around the beautiful village in warm spring sunshine. A chat with the hotel's new proprietors and a lift with them back to Tobermory.
What could be better?

There follows some important advice for sailors visiting Mull:

1.  Berth at Tobermory
2. Catch the bus to Dervaig
3. Have lunch at the Bellachroy Hotel
4. Go for a short walk around the village
5. Catch the 3 o'clock bus back the Tobermory.

You will not be disappointed.

Tomorrow ....... Ardnamurchan point.
