Minch forecast NW3 or 4

Saturday we headed for Stornoway which was only 8.6 miles and tied up at the new pontoons at 11.30am.

Picked up some fresh provisions and visited the chandlery.

Lovely meal ashore. Unfortunately there was a fishing boat party in the harbour so we had live music until 4.30am!

Liked this fishing boat’s destination.

We headed back south on the Sunday with the intention of going through the Sound of Harris.We stopped at Finsbay (34.8 miles logged )and Lingara Bay but yet again the fog appeared.

Fog again!
