I woke to the spasms of the tent on this windswept site. The wind is in the south, and might just about be OK for paddling, but it's not worth the risk. All day the squalls came through, gusting up to F7 according to the anemometer. All night a motor cruiser had been forced to round the island of Gigha repeatedly, having discovered the inadequacy of its anchor...
Met John Shaw, a local paddler of many years' experience, and tapped his local knowledge for the strongly tidal sounds ahead.

Hi Graham,
ReplyDeleteYou've covered a lot of sea since we met in Morfa Nefyn and I've enjoyed reading your blog from the shelter and warmth of home in Bristol. We often remember you with admiration and the pleasure of your company over dinner. Our garden chalet has come on a pace. Come and visit once you're back on dry land (fran2mcgowan@hotmail.com)Warm thoughts, Fran
Hi Fran, nice to know you've been following along. I remember the evening in Morfa Nefyn with affection - the spontaneous generosity of people I've met has been a consistent highlight of the trip.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the journey has to come to an end here, in Oban (more info to follow in the main blog entry).
thanks again
-- Graham
