Sailing down the sound of Mull - Autumn 2014

[@blueskyredkite]

My boat rolls like nobody's business downwind. I'm envious of how well that old Westerly handles that point of sail. And my tiller pilot doesn't like downwind either, it can't hold a course downwind at all. Your trip looked like bliss.

Lovely part of the world. Happy memories of cruising up and down the Sound of Mull and nearby waters, under Diesel power, on the MV Harry Slater out of Oban, diving the wrecks and rock features in the day and drinking int he Mishnish at night. No more beautiful place on a good day. Thanks for sharing.

wonderful - thanks Dylan. I hope to get over from Ireland to "do" that sound next season.

[@Dougyelnats]

wonderful sights & sounds Thank You

[@OldJong]

You are so lucky to be able to sail in such a beautiful place.

[@OldJong]

Yes! I could decide to cross the Atlantic and go sailng there. But I would still feel lucky.... ;-)

[@KeepTurningLeft]

***** lucky for sure - great climate and geography for sailing here

[@OldJong]

That place made me think about the St-Lawrence past Quebec city or the Saguenay river. Majestic places! Keep on turning left. I have been following your journey for many years and I still love it. :-)

[@TammyNorie]

KeepTurningLeft Still the best cruising grounds in the world that I know of.

whats the "hispana wreck" bouy? just to mark a shallow wreck hazard?

[@mikefule]

The Sound and the waters in that area are littered with shipwrecks and it is a popular diving destination. A lot of the popular dive sites are permanently marked, partly to make them easy to find, and partly to make them easy to avoid. Some of the wrecks come within a metre of the surface. Others are too deep to be a problem, but are sometimes swarming with dive boats for an hour or so of slack water in the tide cycle.

The way geology affects the trip is interesting: east coast = lots of rivers, marshes, estuaries, interesting city centers and anchorages; west coast, rugged and fewer city centers, smaller villages?

[@KeepTurningLeft]

Wade Tarzia UK is a big tilted plate - mountains to the west - flatlands to the East - with a few exceptions. Glaciation did some sculpture work.A modest knowledge of geology is a marvelous thing to help undeerstand a landscape

[@lungarotta]

The video is surely interesting but the quality of the image is not as your usual one. I can see pixellation. What went wrong?

[@curiosoneee]

as always NICE thank you .

[@trencnchadam]

[@StefanFamful]

very good video as usual

[@haroldstewart2381]

set of in a crappy old boat with wonderfull dreams and sold your soul

[@KeepTurningLeft]

Harold Stewart crappy old boat - now sold for a smaller one. In retrospect she seems like a palace. But with all things sailing .... the view from the cockpit is as good from a dream machine as it is from an old tub
