We had heard from Chris and Anna. They were taking their kayaks to the Small Isles. We hoped to meet them at Eigg. Motoring out of Tobermory the sky was clear and sun warm with no trace of wind – it seemed we might have to motor all the way to Eigg. Just before reaching Ardnamurchan Point we saw a different patch of water ahead and then a distant boat heeling. Soon we could turn the engine off and start sailing. Very soon afterwards we put a reef in. The sea breeze had filled in as it had on a few previous days, so we had a good sail, although a beat. I was a little unsure about the approach to Eigg’s harbour in this onshore wind so opted to stop at Port Mor, Muck. We could then buy crab from the fisherman and prepare a crab supper to share with Chris and Anna the next evening. We met the fisherman at the harbour and he quickly supplied 2 big crabs and 8 big prawns, all for a very reasonable price. The strange thing is that prawn fishermen catch prawns and they are then served in posh restaurants as Langoustines. The prawns were delicious.
