Friday, 3 May, Loch Spelve to Oban

Thomas was scheduled to catch the train back to London on Saturday morning so we headed over to Oban. The wind was still northerly so again we tacked in a northeasterly direction and again the wind was really up and down between nearly nothing and 20 knots. Happily it was a short sail as we were really tired after not sleeping very well the night before. We were soon tied up in the North Pier Pontoons, a transit marina in Oban. You can only stay 3 nights but the advantage is that it is walk ashore right into the centre of town.

We took a walk around town, showed Thomas where the station is located and did a little bit of shopping. We had intended to eat out to treat Thomas on his last night but we were too tired to cope with the hassle so we had a quick supper onboard and turned in early.
