58:08.87N 05:14.91W Sunday - much better day today; although the wind was still from the north we managed to set the sails and tack all the way.  Still big seas but Juniper is much smoother under sail so life was much more comfortable, and with the strong winds we were at Lochinver sooner than expected.  Gordon twice saw a whale surface and blow so that was really exciting.  Lochinver is well sheltered within Loch Inver and Mt Suilven provides a majestic backdrop to this quiet village.  Monday has been declared a rest day while we plan the next routes and provision.  Photos: Lochinver lifeboat with Mt Suilven in the background and Juniper resting quietly in the harbour.
