Tuesday 28 May 2013 – Loch Shieldaig (Gairloch) to Tanera Mor

A rather frustrating sail.  We left the loch with a reef in place, expecting more wind outside.  After a while we took out the reef and sailed rather slowly with the wind in various directions, together with short bits of motoring when the wind got too light. In the last few miles the wind filled in again and the reef went back in again.  We anchored in the bay at the NW corner of Tanera Mor, going into the most sheltered part behind a big rock.  Did not go ashore as it's a hike through rough vegetation to get anywhere and the tea shop at the other side of the island would be closed.  Saw mystery cetacean through the binoculars (Minke or Bottlenose dolphin).
