Ardfern to Oban

We left Ardfern at 10:00 and made our way back down the loch. As the wind was quite strong and gusty we had two reefs in the main, and just a small amount of genoa. The wind was blowing up the loch so we motored for the first few miles, but once we turned north we were able to sail. The wind settled down so we able to shake out one reef and had the full genoa. We were sailing along strongly, pity about the rain.
We weaved our course between the islands, past the Gulf of Corryveckan, through the Firth of Lorn, up the Sound of Kerrera to Oban Marina.
In the evening we went across to the town in the marina ferry shuttle for an Indian meal, followed by a glass of Oban single malt.
