First trip of the season - Tobermory

We set off after filling the fuel tanks and settling the account with the Marina. We hoisted the main sail whilst still on the fuel pontoon. After leaving Oban Bay and setting our heading towards Mull Sound, we tried to unfurl the genoa. It was jammed tight and no amount of tugging would free it. It appeared that something was sticking near the top of the mast.
We carried on in the Force 4 close reach at a steady five knots with the engine. Also the auto helm didn't want to play.
We had intended stopping for the night at Loch Aline, approx 13 miles from Oban, but with a mast to be climbed and the auto helm to be looked at, we agreed to carry on to Tobermory which would be more sheltered and have a chandlery, if required.
Once in Tobermory, I went aloft and sorted the jammed swivel, we also solved the auto helm power supply problem without any due difficulty.
We ate in a small, but busy restaurant just set back from the main harbour road. Both of us enjoyed the Salmon pâté with oat cakes starter.
Dinner was followed by a dram of Tobermory, which I personally preferred to the Oban. David has started a memo page on his phone to rate the whiskies enjoyed on our trip.
