Day 2 (April 29th), Firth of Lorne / Sound of Mull


A very comfortable night. No swell and another day with clear blue sky. Leaving at 8:30 and breakfast at sea. We managed to catch the tidal stream changes in Sound of Luing. 2 years ago we had no clue about this, no we are all better prepared. We continue by engine until the east entrance of Sound of Mull. Sails up and starts sailing. With northerly or north-easterly winds it should be a convenient leg, After a couple of miles the wind fades out or change directions. The day ends in Tobermory after 10 miles of clause-hauled tacks. We find a mooring buoy in acceptable shelter. Dinner, cheese and wine.
