We want to be somewhere sheltered for Monday, with strong winds expected. The options are Plockton, which is in the wrong direction, or Badachro or Loch Shieldaig (both in Gairloch). With wind from the South it seemed best to head N towards Gairloch. The cruising chute had its first outing of the year and we could still remember how to use it. Badachro was a bit disappointing as there was quite a strong wind through the place and the 2 visitors’ moorings seem to be fictional. This is a pity as it’s a pleasant small holiday place with a pub. Last year we anchored there but this did not appeal in the wind. So we went round the corner to Loch Shieldaig and used one of the proper visitors’ moorings there. The only facility on shore is a rather posh-looking hotel, but we did not feel like that sort of dining.
