After light winds to start it picked up, as it often does going through the Sound of Islay but again dropped off for the sail along the south of Islay to Port Ellen.

I was in at Lunch time early enough to make two trips to the petrol station for diesel, one trip to the CO-OP and still fit in a shower and laundry before a Chinees take way for dinner.
