We got up at about 08.00 and went outside to beautiful weather again. We set off immediately and had a bacon butty whilst heading for Colonsay via the Sound of Islay, the stretch of water between Islay and Jura. We passed three CalMac ferries and saw some of the famous Islay distilleries. More sailing followed and at Colonsay we came alongside the ferry pier, ate lunch and went for a walk on this remote, but beautiful island.
We then carefully maneuvered out of the shallow bay and set our heading for Iona near the Island of Mull, on which a monastery was founded in the 7th Century.
For tea we had sausage and mash - a special request from the Birthday Boy!, we also had a chocolate gateaux to celebrate.
