I joined the Isle of Mull at midday in Oban.  The handover is a brief affair, the new relieving crew wait at the gangway and nip on board as soon as possible, straight up to the bridge, dropping off luggage in the cabin on the way then meet the outgoing mate for a minute to hear that everything is working and he's off.  Five or so minutes later we sail off south to Colonsay with our 4 cars and 19 passengers.  Lovely weather with a stiff NE'ly which is the worst direction for berthing but all was well.  Back to Oban for 17:00 and tied up for the night.

All different crew on here so lots of new names to remember.  Hopefully I won't have forgotten all the stuff from last week, tomorrow we are on the regular Craignure run from 08:00 till 18:00 so we see how much I can recall.
