Muck : 21st & 22nd June


A three hour passage took us from Coll to The Isle of Muck, again not much wind so mainly motor sailing.

At anchor in Port Mor.

Once we had settled at anchor we took the dinghy ashore to explore the island.

Port Mor almost to ourselves.

On our walk we visited the local tea shop to buy some eggs and bread. Later we encountered some friendly hens and sheep being herded by a shepherdess on her bicycle. The views all around were stunning.

Rush hour on Muck !

The road to nowhere.

View out towards Rum.

The next day we had plans to leave Port Mor for Arisaig on the mainland, however the boat’s plumbing had other ideas. We had a major blockage, and sadly the day had to be spent resolving the problems – not nice!!!! In the space of 24hours we had experienced the highs and lows of boating – more MUCK than we had bargained for but a beautiful place to visit.
