The forecast was 5-7 again and we said goodbye to Salty who had decided to go south to the Crinan Canal. In the misty rain we sailed eastward towards the mainland. The Marina at Oban is on an island opposite the town with a free hourly ferry service. Having tied up we put the cockpit cover and the greenhouse heater on to dry the boat out and attempt to dry our wet weather clothing, all sopping wet! The short passage did not disappoint with rain squalls and 28 knots of wind! We then went to Oban for a wander around but decided it was too wet and cold to eat ashore.
