Day 24 Portree to Flowerdale in Loch Gairloch - Sailing with dolphins.

Portree

We left Portree under clouds with the threat of rain. We had decided to give Rona a miss for a variety of reasons, not least the weather and had thus concluded that Gairloch was a better destination. We said goodbye to Rona with 15 knots of wind on the nose and a slight swell. As we turned towards Gairloch the wind backed and we were able to set sail and continue into Gairloch without the engine passing 4000 miles on Soleis's log. And to crown this joyous occasion we were joined by a pod of dolphins that frolicked around the bow.




Tomorrow we are of to the Hebrides, via the Skiant islands, hoping to see puffins and ending up in Tarbert on Harris
