HOMEWARD BOUND - FAROE ISLANDS THROUGH THE HEBRIDES VIA SKYE BRIDGE

HOMEWARD BOUND -  FAROE ISLANDS  VIA  THE HEBRIDES THROUGH THE SKYE BRIDGE

So the final leg of the Faroe’s trip. Here we cruise through the Scottish Hebrides. So we head under the bridge at the Isle of Skye and end up heading for an anchorage on one of the cocktail islands due to lack of wind another anchorage in the dark hours of the morning. The next morning when leaving the forecast gave nice wind..but surprise surprise it never came but hey I was glad I set of because the last sunset at sea was just beautiful. So just because was nursed back home with a dodgy head gasket and in need of new valve stem seals but she made it. So now she is back in her berth the work begins. Myself and my land loving friend (machanic) has got stuck into it he is a lot cheaper to pay than some marine machanics so it’s a help. The head now sits in an engineering firm waiting to get tested. The auto pilot is also ready to go so funds are getting low. So if any of you guys would like to help just because keep voyaging please support her on the go fund me page https://www.instagram.com/linkshim/?u...

Many thanks for all your support past and present Remember guys if you have dreams start living them anything is possible if you put your mind to it⛵️

GOODBYE TO THE FAROE ISLANDS

 GOODBYE TO THE FAROE ISLANDS

Well the time has come to set of across the cold North Atlantic again and head for Scotland. It was very nice of the islands to let us go so easy...I would say one of the clearest days ever the fog lifted just to let us have one last look at the magical Faroe’s before we went over the horizon. So what a lot of people didn’t know about this trip which made it a lot harder for me planning...from Stornaway Scotland and the rest of the trip out to Faroe’s and back to the home port was done with a dodgy engine..the head gasket was starting to go and leaking valve stem seals in the engine. Doing this trip with a boat in perfect order is hard enough but doing it with this sort of thing going on just adds to the mental pressure it didn’t help as we have a failing autopilot that is on its last legs also. This is going to possibly put the boat out of action for some time as this all needs sorting. If anyone would be interested in helping us please find the go fund me page on my Facebook page James Harrison (skipper James ) are on my Instagram skipper_jamess_33 it would be greatly appreciated and even a small amount will go a long way. You will see on the YouTube and on my Facebook exactly were this money goes on the boat.... . Just like to say thanks to all you followers for sticking with the adventures and to all you that has help in the past and continue to help⛵️
