Day 24 - Mallaig

Saturday 16^th July 2016 – Mallaig – Day 24

A cold, cloudy morning and the rain commenced at 10.30.

In the meantime, Syd had gone off to Fort William, unfortunately the trains were on strike this weekend but a replacement bus service at 10.00.  The bus was full, so he came back on board and the brave lad set off again for the 11.00 normal bus service to Fort William which takes one and a half hours at a cost of £7.50p return.

Mallaig another dreek day

I spent the day on board, cleaning the boat and playing with the blogsite which was very difficult to publish, but I was warm with the portable electric heater on.

Syd came back at 17.00 after having a good day out which had been spoilt by the weather, he could not Ben Nevis, but he saw lots of white caps on the waves at Loch Linnie.

The ‘Chlachain Inn’ for soup and bucket full of mussels, Syd had haddock and chips.

In the ‘Marine Arms’, the local fishermen were involved with a pool competition and the winner was given a lot of money for his efforts.

The wind and rain have been relentless.
