Friday 31 May 2013 – Kinlochbervie to Talmine (Kyle of Tongue)

The fog had gone, but visibility was not very good, with cloud on the top of the cliffs.  We motored and sailed towards Cape Wrath with very calm sea and slowly improving visibility, passing inside of Am Balg.  We could just see the stack Am Buchaille.  We had a good view of Cape Wrath and as conditions continued very calm passed inside Duslic Rock.  As we passed Durness we tried to identify Smoo Cave, but could not quite see it.  We arrived at Talmine, which is a fairly sheltered bay at the mouth of the Kyle of Tongue to find a number of moorings.  Liberty had already picked one up and we took another.

Taking a walk ashore, we happened to meet Magnus, the owner of the mooring, in the village shop.  He assured us it was secure.
