Some people set such an ambitious schedule for their cruise that they end up motoring for hours whenever the wind is light. We have not set such a schedule, so we postponed our departure until well after coffee time, when there seemed to be some wind, so we decided to go to wherever we could easily reach when heading North. After motoring out of Loch Nan Ceall (past lots of kayaks for which this is an ideal place) we found there was hardly any wind. However it was warm with a little sun. Hours later we stopped at Mallaig. This is not a favourite place as it’s rather expensive for what you get, but it is a pleasant small town.
Tomorrow we will buy some smoked fish from the fish place and try to head north again, weather permitting.

Update: October 2012. We now think the mystery fish is a Lumpfish
