Seven Boats Sail to Toscaig from Lochcarron

The "lazy Sunday" turned out to be anything but as we reefed down and had a brisk sail in a steady Northly breeze of 18-20knots which surprised us with gusts of over 30 knots from time to time.

As we rounded the point of Applecross Peninsula the sea became a bit choppy so we opted for a sheltered anchorage in Toscaig. Once there a pleasant hour or two was spent comparing one-another's boats before heading for home in quieter conditions.

The seven boats were Eydis, Island Girl, Sonas, The Rebel, Playtime, Mhojo and Meridian.

Ten minutes after setting off for the return trip Mhojo and crew managed to faff about after letting slip their tender and then letting slip their boathook in double quick time. When they regained composure and the lost articles the rest of the fleet had disappeared over the horizon!!
