Saturday. Crinan - Ardfern

We waited for a couple of incoming yachts to clear the sea lock before departing, through the mist. It was a bit of a damp start, but after a while the cloud lifted and at times we even saw small patches of blue sky.
There was very little wind and the sea was dead calm. We motored, weaving our way past the small islands and inlets to Ardfern.
We stopped at the fuel pontoon and took on 26 ltrs of diesel. As this is the first time I have refueled since Holy Loch, I didn't think we had done too badly. We did motor the length of the Crinan Canal barely above tick over.
The boat had collected lots of muddy footprints, grass cuttings & leaves on the decks in the canal, so I gave her a wash down whilst Peter visited the laundry.
In the evening we ate in The Galley of Lorne, the meal being followed by a single malt from Campbeltown.
