We dropped the mooring at Gigha just after twelve midday and meandered to the Mull with a mix of sailing, motoring and motor-sailing. There was still substantial weather helm in the gusts (max 18kts) even with one reef in.
We dodged a tanker as we scraped across the top of the Mull of Kintyre TSS. Darren saw a vertically leaping shark (allegedly) and a pilot whale. Catherine and I missed these, but saw a pod of porpoises.
We were alongside Glenarm at 20.45, no-one around but we borrowed a gate fob off another boat so we could visit the facilities. Chicken curry and an early night as we had decided on an early start in the morning.
