We left at high water with the intention of going to Tobermory or anywhere else suitable on the way south. The genoa seemed to work OK with the tack tied down with string. The problem is that because the furling drum is in the way it has to be tied down a bit behind its normal place. However I don’t want to take the furling drum off as it’s still possible to furl the sail once I have untied the tack tie down string. The wind remained light so there was no great stress on the sail. After a while drizzle and mist filled in and continued for the rest of the afternoon – the first traditional Scottish weather we have had on this trip. Saw 2 cruise ships and went to Loch Drumbuie as Tobermory might be a bit busy.
