0800 Start today and a 5 hour trip up to the island of Rum. The wind is fresh and in the south so should be agood run.
HW Tobermory is 0530 and 1740
Weather. Wind S F5,bright withsome cloud
Weigh Anchor at 8.00 and set out West. There are some rocky outcrops of 'Sligneach Mor' and 'Sligneach Beag' which we will keep on our port side. .
Then keep to the North of "Red Rocks" follow the Northern coastline past" Macleans Nose" Maol buidhe, Port Choinnich, Port Garbh and by the time we are abreast of the lighthouse at Point of Ardnamurchan we should be going dead North with the Isles of Muck,Eigg and Rum ahead of us. We will head to the west of Muck as there are strong overalls around the south of the island and I would rather be swept away from then than towards. 
Unfortunately this means pushing against the tide for the last leg up to Rum.Finally we reach Loch Scresort and the anchorage. Be wary of the rocky outcrop on the Southern edge of the bay.
Trip 31nm
Rum is good for Walking cycling, fishing or deer stalking. For a complete overview of all things Rum go to Isle of Rum
