Thanks for sharing guys. A passage from Ireland to Scotland is definitely on the bucket list.

Thanks for this, I would recommend Campbelltown as a first stop. Very friendly. (Weather, depending obviously).

Hope it warms up for Elizabeth . Home from home for me and it looks beautiful. Hopefully you'll get a good evening at Loch Melfort . Thanks for sharing .

Thank you, Ruth, we are currently sat on a bench in the sunshine underneath the Crinan Hotel. Very mellow.

Nice video. I did the trip from sandbanks and thru East and west Kyles of Bute past Tarbert a couple of weeks before your trip. some wonderful sailing at times.

[@CoricContessa32]

Yes, we really enjoyed the Kyles of Bute, had a nice sail up Loch Riddon

Thanks for keeping the updates going. Curious what the log says about distance covered. Nice to see it looking a bit more like a holiday and less like a voyage😊

[@CoricContessa32]

Hi Brian, we have about 1000 miles under our belt so far in the last seven weeks. Very much suspect that the average is going to go down. For example we have spent 3 to 4 days in the between Tarbert and Crinan Canal where total distance launch is less than 30 miles.

Thanks John, further than I thought...enjoy the slower pace

[@SailingSula]

nice one 😊

Thank you, liked your video of the trip from Campbelltown to Gigha

You might consider adding a further 30 m or so of rope to the anchor chain or at least having it on board just in case.

[@CoricContessa32]

Thank you for this Richard and you make a good point. I should’ve been clearer. I added 30 m of chain onto what I already had which was 10+20. Total rode is now 60m, 40 of which is chain. I have an additional 10 m +20 as a kedge

If you need any spares or repairs you’ll find Ardfern is your best bet, exceedingly helpful as there isn’t much further north. Have fun

[@CoricContessa32]

Thanks, that’s really helpful.
