We have had a lot of rain since we arrived back in Scotland. However, we had been told that Kerrera Islands has had insufficient rain and now have a water shortage! As a result, we were unable to fill our water tanks and therefore chose to leave today and move on to Tobermory, Mull.
The journey took us along the Sound of Mull and, unusually, the weather was fine. To enter the sound we had to go past Duart Point and the famous castle. The castle, high up on the cliff, is creepy enough. However, the tide was coming out of the sound and swirling over underwater mountains that caused the surface to eddy in small whirlpools. The journey along the sound itself was magnificent and we passed one of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries, which travel between the many islands off the west coast of Scotland. The harbour, which is featured in many children’s TV programs, is very attractive with its multicoloured houses. We were able to find a pontoon berth and they seemed to have plenty of water on Mull so we gratefully filled our water tank.
