Day 20 -Tobermory to Mallaig.

How does this bloody thing work?


After a wet night and a cool cloudy start we had another glorious day of sunshine and light winds. However we did manage to motor sail for a significant part of the journey and even sailed for a short time over lunch while Peter fished.  I was looking forward to a nice big sea bass to cook for supper, but alas was disappointed.

Mallaig did not disappoint. It is a glorious mix of mainly fishing boats with a recently added marina with excellent pontoons and we have sat in the sunshine, with various drinks in our hands and enjoyed supper on board.

In a brief stroll around Mallaig we found the station platform full of the Fort William to Mallaig steam train waiting to depart. Margaret remember travelling on this service as a child.
