| Loch Broom at Ullapool |
Loch Ewe has been a major place for the Navy in past years and we left Loch ewew passing by a large fuel installation that seemed to be the only visible remnant of the Navies footprint.
The rest of the journey was rather wet and very murky.
Ullapool is not very welcoming to leisure sailors. It has a few well placed and easily accessible swinging moorings but access to a pontoon, supposedly dedicated for leisure use, is discouraged by heavy use by local fishing and trade.
Our foray ashore in the evening was prevented by strong winds and heady rain. Barabara and Peter ate on board for the last time and packed in preparation for their departure in the morning. I was sorry to see them go, they had been great company.
After their departure it was down to some domestic work, laundry and cleaning before Sue Adlington arrives on Saturday.
Loch Broom seems to be on the low level route for the RAF and several jets roar down the Loch below the level of my mast.

Friday was bright and warm and I took the bike ashore and did a little exploring. The hills offered plenty of good exercise for the leg muscles!
Saturday saw the arrival of a tall ship from Bergen called the Statsraad Lehmkuhl. She has a crew of 25 and 90 "trainees". I bought a couple of tickets from the harbour master during the evening we went on board for a scottish houlie!
