Those gales kept the ferry overnight in Ullapool and closed the Braighe, the causeway to Point. Watched Ellen MacArthur’s return to Falmouth, she has been made a Dame (female equivalent of Sir). Weather today started bright but blustery, rain followed along in the afternoon. Try to make a mobile phonecall in a strong wind outside! In the evening, a German lady checked into the hostel, who turned out to be a hospital doctor with experience in British hospitals. Interesting discussion.
