Thursday 6 September 2012 – Eigg

Wet and windy as promised, but this is a cosy place to be, especially in SW to W wind.  It's usually a good walk to the Sgurr from here with magnificent views from the top, but today the trip did not appeal as the Sgurr was invisible from the harbour. The morning seemed to drag a bit as we had already done our share of reading and knitting on Tuesday.  After lunch the rain had pretty much stopped and the tide had gone out, so we cleaned the bottom of the boat.  It was in quite a good state with just a bit of green/brown slime.  We then went over to the shop and cafe but found it was early closing and they were both closed.  After a chat with Chris from Khoubar we returned to the boat for tea.

Tomorrow we are promised better weather so hope to make some progress. We also have to decide how best to jury-rig the genoa tack and find a shop to resolve our teabag near-emergency.

Today's photos show we don't always have sunny weather:
(note: I have also added photos for yesterday and the day before)
