Kinlochbervie to Loch Eriboll (25th-28th July)

I explained in an earlier post how this leg started with a worrying false start.

I have almost nothing written in the log for the trip round to Loch Eriboll.  I dropped anchor south of spit in Ard Neackie about 8pm.

The following morning I took a while to decide whether to go onwards. I was prompted by time pressure and the terrible phone connection, but worried a bit about the forecast and the sea conditions that steady northerly weather would have built up.
