Day 94 - Still in Oban.

Heavy rain so no photos. I spent the evening talking to an old couple in the pub, very pleasant until I found out they were a year younger than me. It's getting cold, I can see my breath.

Day 93 - Oban town centre pontoon.

My anchorage for the night off Eilean Munde. Looking towards South Ballachulish old slate mine. Bishops Bay. On Elean Munde where the people of Glencoe bury their dead.

Day 89 - Anchored in Onich.

Starter motor replaced, it would have cost £500 if it wasn't under warranty. The earth connection might also have been suspect. Anchored in Onich.

Day 88 - Corpach. Engineer coming today. - not.

The new starter motor hasn't arrived. It's coming from Belgium. Paul and Jenny set off for the Lake District.

Day 87 - On the pontoon at Corpach.

Day 86 - Corpach. Engineer coming today.

A great couple of guys. But it's the wrong part.

Day 85 - still at Corpach.

Paul and Jenny's lunchspot.

Day 84 - Anchored off Corpach.

I suppose I could have picked a worse place to break down. Walking back from the pub. They have to hold each other up. It's a disgrace!
