Week 5 - Thursday - Kilchoan Bay

Spent the night on a mooring buoy in Kilchoan Bay, which is at the head of the Sound of Mull.

Great views here and a very pretty bay.

Griff excelled himself yesterday with a chilli turkey meal. He used all of the chillies that were left over from the first week. They may have been past their sell by date (13th May) but they had lost none of their bite!

We ate this out of the dog bowls that I have on board. These were bought new and are clean i.e. have never been used by a dog! I still maintain that they are the perfect boat eating utensil. They are big, have a broad base and do not slide around when the boat is heeling over.

I have found that people are a bit squeamish about eating from them but Griff is a man after my own heart. He has embraced dog bowl usage and I would not be surprised if they become a standard part of his kitchen when he gets back to Wilmslow!

Early start today, as we head to Oban ahead of the strong winds that are heading this way.
