08-19 Tobermory

Not quite the same spot as previous stays, but close. Today’s forecast was 15, dropping to 10 around noon, so we headed out.

Tobermory is not the same as it used to be, probably a victim of its tourist success. There are a lot more tour boats, and more people, except for today when the cancelled the tours due to weather. The grocery store and the diner are gone from the harbour (they used to fill the holes in the photo below), probably because it was too tough for the locals to get through the tourist traffic. There’s only a handful of transient sailboats.

The weather we sailed through from Snug Harbour was up to 20 knots from the SE, then E, and there was more rock and roll than most tourists like. We are tired and will sleep well after taking advantage of the hot showers.
