Zero wind and blue sky all round – not what you normally expect in Scotland. After breakfast a little wind filled in from the N and we left, just before the big rock in the middle of the anchorage covered. The idea was to go round the first headland, Rubha Coigach and then decide if we would carry on further North or go to Lochinver. Although it was a beat, we reached Rubha Coigach with no trouble in smooth water and decided to continue round Stoer Head. After putting in first and later second reefs, we eventually rounded Stoer head in the last of the favourable tide but with rather confused sea. At this point we decided that Kinlochbervie was too far and to windward, but Loch Nedd was nearer and we could approach on a reach. Anchored in very shallow water, finding the loch very cosy and sheltered, as expected. I don't think we will go ashore as there is nothing much here and the shop in the next village would be closed by the time we reached it.
