BUIE TO JURA

 BUIE TO JURA



So from the beautiful loch Buie on the Isle of Mull down the west coast of Jura into the anchorage at west loch Tarbert. We made this move as bad weather was soon to blow from the south and you really don’t want to be in Buie in southerlies. When we left Buie we had a lot of wind so it was a 3rd reef day and to deal with the gusts...after all we are cruisers not racers. Heading down the west coast of Jura we had a few sail configurations from 3rd reef to full sails back to 2nd reef. One place I will tell anyone to be careful is passing the gulf of the corryvreckan “the great race” this place can be very dangerous and will in the wrong conditions swallow you up.it extends miles out into the sea so be very careful here and give her a wide berth. Anyway we had a nice fast sail down the Wild West coast of Jura and into west loch Tarbert. The sea got a little bumpy as we were just turning in but that was due to the water getting shallower. As we moved through loch Tarbert and past the raised beaches into the narrow channels to get to the anchorage I was waiting for a difficult entrance as I was told it was tricky but to be honest it was straight forward. Remember tho always do your homework on a place your going. This place is remote no mobile signal are vhf so keep it in mind. It’s a beautiful place here and super holding as you will see in coming video. Anyway enough talking from me hope you enjoy the video and any questions feel free to ask.
