| The Firth of Lorn |

| A Razor Bill |
Another sunny day, we leave Port Appin with a following tide and no wind. As we venture south we get a brief, but enormous surge in the tide, so much so the size of the tidal arrow on the chart plotter completely obscures our position. It occurs as we pass an artificial reef created for a marine project. We also get a glimpse of Razor Bills close to the boat. Previously these have only been visible at distance.

| Oban Marina on arrival. |
We arrive in Oban Marina on the Island of Kerrara in beautiful sunshine and I look forward to a cycle tour of the island. We hear later that this is the start of Highland Week, which explains why, shortly after our arrival, the marina is full and turning away hopeful clients. We were fortunate in getting one of the two or three berths available. i had though about going for a sail later when the wind increased but within the prospect of loosing our berth we will stay put until Richard Wall arrives on Sunday evening and davis leaves on Sunday morning.
Photos below are all Kerrara.
