We anchored in Loch na Cille overnight, well sheltered from the Northerly wind, and sailed into Craobh at lunchtime on Sunday.

New mainsail was expected to be delivered on 29th April but delays with the sailmaker meant rearranging to meet up with it on Monday at Craobh Haven. The sailmaker then called to say they couldn't get it delivered as it was a holiday weekend, and that it would not be despatched until Tuesday, which took some of the leisure out of our passage plan.

The time at Craobh was spent on a variety of maintenance tasks such as replacing the anchor warp and the worn out wind instrument at the top of the mast. I got half way up the mast before my bottle went (they heard it crash in Oban, apparently) so poor old skipper Steve got hauled up again.

I'll lower you again just as soon as you tell me where the key for the Caramel Wafer locker is.
