Tuesday 11 September - Puilladobhrain

Our position in the anchorage had a view across the Firth of Lorne – just a small amount is visible through a gap in the rocks.  The sea state looked most uninviting, with lots of white horses.  In the anchorage the wind was strong and gusty, with the strong wind coming with heavy rain showers under patches of dark cloud.  Apart from the wind and rain it was a sunny day and the solar panels did useful charging.  We sat around all morning reading, knitting and doing a few minor boat jobs, with the intention of going south on the afternoon ebb tide if the wind lessened.  However the wind remained until late into the evening, so we stayed put.

We plan to go on the last of the morning ebb tomorrow.
