A gentle sail down Loch Linnhe to the anchorage just off the Sound of Shauna.
Weather. Wind. SE F3 Wet heavy rain at times.
Tide. HW 15. 00 at Shauna Island.
Weigh Anchor 0800. Using the bouyage We pick out way out past the Islands and proceed down Loch Linnhe. Care to be taken around the various fish farms along the way. (Note the software sails us straight through these.)
Pretty much a straight sail with no major obstacles. We'll head in to the Sound of Shauna and Dallens Bay to find an anchoring spot.
After lunch We move on to Loch Aline off the Sound of Mull.
A few hazards to watch for on the next stretch. There are many places that are subject to tidal overalls butI think we have the tide right and we may be spared the worst of these. Leaving the Dallens anchorage via the north of Shauna we continue down Loch Linnhe before turning west then north west into the sound of Mull. Immediately there are rocks and small islands so we head toward the North of the cardinal bouy using
The leading light in the form of a WRG sectored flashing light (10s) on Ardtornish point to guide us.
A mile or so past Ardtornish point is the entrance to Loch Aline.Approach on a track of 357° and then follow the bouyage through the narrow entrance.
There are plenty of places to anchor some bouys and a marina here. As it is so sheltered here a night on the hook will be good.
