Urquharts Bay

Wet and windy when anchored in Urquharts Bay so spent the day baking, rescuing dinghies while rain some how managed to soak our afternoon cabin. 

The aluminium dingy that floated past us during the gale was full of water and our Torqedo outboard struggled to tow it back. When I started to bale I quickly realised that of the two burst rubbish bags in the boat, one was full of used toilet paper. We did the minimum baling necessary before tying it to a mooring and handing the problem to the coastguard!
