Craobh Haven to Tobermory Pleasantly uneventful 05 August 2023
Tobermory harbour early evening |
A very leisurely departure from Craobh Haven - after a chat with the owner of Due North, a €5m 68 foot Nordhavn (gorgeous boat), plus a short walk, plus refuelling. We left eventually at 13.30 ish.
The seas were calm all the way - up through the Sound of Luing, past Easdale where the world championships for stone skimming are held, across the Firth of Lorne where a young Minke Whale once played in our wake, to the south end of the Sound of Mull.
We had to dodge a number of yachts on the way up the Sound of Mull and were treated to a Sea Eagle (like a flying barn door) crossing the Sound - over to be close to a fish farm. We safely arrived at Tobermory at 17.45 and were directed to a berth beside a small super yacht, Kaizen - how the other half live.

Forgot to mention a beautifully kept Grand Banks 46 for sale in Craobh Haven. Anyone interested? |
We enjoyed dinner aboard, chicken satay by Mary, followed by a game of horses where Mary’s luck with the cards was extraordinary - she should do the lottery!

The boat bird list was very short, just 17 species - but greatly enhanced by the Sea Eagle.
