Erraid to Bunessan

Pippa Shaw

After our trip to Erraid in 3.5m swell, we were a little anxious about going back out, but the increasing pressure and upcoming change of wind direction meant it wouldn't be safe to stay any longer. We did debate going forward for an excellent sheltered anchorage on the south of Mull, but decided for once to play it safe and turn tail back to Bunessan, where at least we knew there's decent sounding and a little shop for supplies. For once, the swell was actually a little less than expected, so we were happy with our decision to leave Friday evening rather than Saturday morning, and spend just a few hours at sea vs the 10+ hours we would have had to sail had we gone the other direction!
