Loch Harport to Canna was a
gentle sail. There are now 10 moorings in Canna harbour but still plenty of
room to anchor which was just as well as by the time we arrived all the
moorings were taken.
We anchored in the outer part
and it blew fairly hard overnight so we were somewhat alarmed the next morning
as we watched another yacht raise his anchor with a ton of kelp on it. We
decided that when one became free we would move onto a mooring.
By 10 am the harbour was
emptying and we upped anchor with Mo gently moving deeper into the harbour
towards a mooring. There was a motor boat leaving and the twit on board had
obviously never learnt that boats pass port to port. He came straight for us
and Mo had to go hard astern to avoid a collision. My language to him was very
loud and colloquial!!!
Canna is a small island but
it does have a restaurant so while ashore we stopped for a cuppa. Mo was able
to walk a mile or so which is a great improvement.
We found it amazing that this
small island once supported 600 people and has three churches. There are far
fewer people now.
