The rain started as we continued up the NW coast of Kerrera. The rain hissed into the calm sea around us...
..and the seascape turned steadily to muted shades of grey.
Phil cut a colourful dash on the Firth as we approached the northern entrance to Oban Bay.
We let Loti* enter the channel before us and enjoyed a good surf in on her wake.
We stopped for a second luncheon on a pebble beach on the south side of the channel below the Hutchison Monument.
No sooner had we set off than MV Isle of Mull approached Maiden Isle at the mouth of the channel.
It is a tight squeeze for ships entering the harbour and sea kayaks have to keep clear! Again, we caught her wake, before it was our turn to enter the harbour...
...before MV Eigg, the Lismore ferry, nipped in behind us.
In the meantime, MV Mull had to wait for Loti, to turn round her passengers and clear the berth. A busy spot!
* MV Lord of the Isles
