Puilladobhrain

From Loch Melfort our voyage took us through the tidal gate at Cuan Sound between the islands of Luing and Seil.

Our track through Cuan Sound.

On entering the Firth of Lorn we raised the sails and had a gentle beat into a light north east wind. The wind soon died and the tide was building against us. The iron sail was started and we headed to Puilladobhrain.

Just before 16.00 we anchored in Puilladobhrain. 

NJ anchored furthest to the right.

In the evening we went ashore in the dinghy and walked to 'The Bridge Over the Atlantic'. A pint was had in the pub at Clachan Bridge.

The next day we left taking care to keep on the transit of two white marks on the rocks.
