We left at 9am with forecasts of rain showers and easterly
winds and the day started with a search for Beinn Breagh – the home of
Alexander Graham Bell. We motored past
several candidates before finding the real one; once you see it, it’s obvious
that the one. And after what seemed like hundreds of photos,
we set off at 10am for St. Peters.
Thankfully, the rain didn’t materialize, but the easterly
winds did. We had a great sail with
screecher (big light wind foresail), alternating with genoa and back to
screecher again. Wind speeds varied
between 8 knots and 15 knots and the boat speed was mostly between 5 and 8
knots. It doesn’t get much better than
this. (Well perhaps a little sunshine
would have been better).
We arrived at St. Peters, and replenished our fuel and water
supplies before picking up a mooring.
Then got to the grocery store for some last minute shopping just before
it closed.
