Day 26 - Mallaig




Monday 18th July 2016 – Mallaig – Day 26


It is still raining is this still possible, who would want to come here for a holiday?

Visitors from the Isle of Barra


The fishing boats which have stayed here over the weekend have left, is this a good sign?







At 11.00 Craig arrived, a new crew member to relieve Syd.  Craig is a member of the yacht club and had driven up in my car, after spending the night in a hotel on Loch Lomond.  While Syd was taking the car back to my home and staying the night, before catching the train the next day to his home in Penzance, Cornwall. Thank you Syd for the good company and help along the way.

Miraculously it stopped raining at 18.00, we walked along to the station and watched the steam train leave at 18.40 for its journey to Fort William.  Into the Co-op to get provisions before going into the ‘Chlachain Inn’ for a meal and at 19.00, I could see the back edge of the rain in the black cloud above.

An hour later and it was a different world as the sun appeared, too good to miss, as we strolled round the harbour in this new light.




Early to bed and looking forward to being back at sea tomorrow.
