Join us on our journey as we embark on a trip from the Fairey Islands in Loch Sween to the Island of Tiree!
In this episode, we sail through the magnificent Loch Sween, traverse the captivating Sound of Jura and Sound of Mull, and navigate past the Garvellachs before reaching Kinloch Bay on the Island of Colonsay.
As we sail through these challenging waters, we carefully chart our course, giving the notorious Corryvreckan and its roaring whirlpoo a missl. Utilising the tidal currents to our advantage, we navigate past the iconic Fladda Lighthouse.
Experience the power of nature as we spend a blustery night anchored in the scenic Kiloran Bay, embraced by the untamed elements. Our next leg takes us on a 35-nautical-mile passage to the Island of Tiree, navigating through showers and moderate visibility, where we hone our skills in reading our radar and AIS for safe passage.
However, just as we approach our destination of Gott Bay on Tiree, a sudden turn of events throws us into a dilemma – dense fog engulfs our surroundings. Join us as we grapple with the decision of whether to proceed into the harbour with its ferry terminal or seek an alternate solution. What would you do?
