Coll

We left Tobermory just before 10.00, heading north west round Ardmore Point, and then out to sea towards Coll. We sailed some of the way and also used the engine when the wind dropped. The day was a bit overcast and there was some drizzle. Three and a half hours later we were approaching Loch Eatharna. A couple of young fishermen were busy catching mackerel at the entrance buoy. Rob was on the helm and had to take avoiding action when they did not see us coming. We found a free visitor mooring to pick up for the night.

Shortly after we had moored the fishermen came alongside and offered us some of the mackerel they had just caught. We were delighted to accept the fish in exchange for a couple of lagers. A fine feast was had. 

Freshly caught mackerel for supper.

In the evening we went ashore to pay the mooring fee and go for a walk.
