We wanted to go North and West but with a North Westerly wind we took the easy option and went to visit Jura instead. After a distillery tour we went down to the tropica island of Gigha then back to Port Ellen on Islay to watch a 5-a-side beach rugby tournament. After the rugby we sailed to Collonsay, met up with claire then continued to a rainy uncomfortable Tiree before surfing some big southwesterly waves to Muck and Eigg before travelling to Mallaig to drop Claire off and Pick up Matthew

Arrived in Oban on friday and waited for the arrival of Tom. Next day headed to Gylen Castle via the anchorage in the bay to the south.
