Fortune favours the brave so we decided to go for it and left Canna bound for Lochboisdale, South Uist. Managed three hours of glorious sailing and passed BBH's twin under full sail too. What were the chances? But the wind was sending us in the wrong direction so the motor went on and we reached the new harbour pontoons at 17.30 along with six or so others.
Thursday was fine so we cycled across the island to an amazing beach. We'd got there by taxi, bus, two trains, ferry, yacht, cycle and walking! Found a piece of New England fishing float on the beach, proof that we are truly on an Atlantic Coast.
Thursday night saw the big storm come in so we may be here for a while. There are now 22 boats here. Hurricane party perhaps?
