West Coast of Scotland

Last three days my wife and I took our Seal 28 from Fort William to Lochcarron (home). It took three days, we hit all the tides just right. Amazing journey. Saw an Orca, dolphins going under our boat, Gannets, seals. The west coast is amazing. Now we have the boat back in Lochcarron we need to do a few engine repairs/tweaks, then to carry on exploring the islands! Not bad for a 45 year old boat.

Sounds like a great three days. Was it warm enough to swim?
Cheers

There's nothing like hitting the tides just right is there? Last time I was near there, we were racing and so did not hit the tides just right. We were just about to throw the anchor in, when the wind blessedly filled in and we were on our way again. Phew!

Have you got some pictures for us? Please post if you do.

Fair winds,
