Tied up

Saturday morning started with sunshine and a glassy sea, only a baby
seal to break the waters. Anchor aweigh at 10:00 and a large amount
of grey oozy mud to wash off the deck and chain, still it proved to be
good holding ground so mustn't complain. We motored the short 7' up
to Oban Bay via Kerrera Sound and found a berth at the marina here at
the north end of the island. http://www.obanmarina.com/ It seems to
be a fairly casual affair with the lady in office advising "take any
space that you find available". I am going to leave the boat here and
return to Glasgow on Wednesday.
We had a walk along the west coast of the island with fabulous views
over to Mull and Lismore. About 4 in the afternoon the rain returned,
with fire hose qualities drenching everything. There is a seafood
restaurant at the top of the gangway, well I say restaurant it is a
tent with some wooden tables and chairs. We thought a few oysters and
a glass of something would be rather nice to watch the rain come down
but it wasn't to be they were fully booked serving up raw and cooked
oysters and langoustines etc. and didn't think we could get a table
that night. All local produce freshly killed one presumes.
