Came out of Oban and there was a bit of wind, so we decided to put the main sail up and we were motor sailing for a little bit, then we decided to put the foresail up as well and turn the engine off. We thought we would sail all the way but the wind dropped right off and we were doing about 1.3 knots over the ground. We turned the engine back on then rolled up the foresail. We motored with the main sail up for a while until we were out of the south Oban channel and into open sea where we put the foresail back up and turned the engine off. We tried to tack for a while but the wind dropped off yet again. So we motor sailed with just the main sail up the rest of the way. It was a nice sunny day as well. We saw some porpoises and seals which was nice. We then got into the anchorage and laid about 35 metres of chain out. What a lovely spot, reminded me of Sweden. We pumped the dingy up and rowed to shore. Me and dad then took the dog for a walk to the pub on the other side of the hill which was nice. Dad made beef stew on board which was nice. Opened a bottle of wine and sat on the deck on the evening sun playing uno. I also had a couple dives in the sea off the side of the boat because you just have to. Overall it’s been a good day.
