Bunessan to Erraid

No pictures today because we were more focused on staying upright and alive. Today's lesson is that if all the weather forecasts say 3.5m swell - believe them! They only ever seem to be wrong the other way around 🙈 Thankfully, it was relatively calm out of the first anchorage, so we had time to stow our belongings properly and prepare for the increase, but it got worse and worse as the sail progressed and at one point we weren't even sure we'd be able to make the turning into the new anchorage! We do have a friend here already, but we're doubting his advice to come now that we're here - it seems his catamaran has given him an unfounded sense of calm and safety 😂 We'll dry out here, which I'm already dreading. Not to self: if you see big waves/swell and you're in an anchorage that's comfortable enough not to believe it... STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!! Good advice for everyone, I think 🥸
