Well I set of into the hills around Rum and what can I say it was a brilliant day with all sorts of weather ....let me know if you know the Arab in the video. Right get your hiking boots on we are going walk about on Rum. Hope you all have a great weekend
THE HEBRIDES - WALK ABOUT PORT RAMSAY THEN OF TO RUM
Ok I take a look about port Ramsay I just loved the Main Street. I will say the holding in this port Ramsay is top class you will see what I mean as I’m walking the coast. There is two anchorages here so you will get an eyes on. After the weather eased here I made back to Oban yes Oban again to check about the sim and see if it arrived...let’s see how that goes. When I had just got into Oban I seen a boat she wasn’t a huge boat but she was well kitted and the skipper looked like a right old sea dog and that’s just what I thought as you do....as he was leaving his boat swung round and gave me a little drive by and he shouted he loved the videos...it was pretty amazing as this guy was a proper sailor an old salt and I’d just been thinking there is a proper sailor it actually made my day that real men of the sea was enjoying my madness. Anyway when I left Oban it was into a familiar anchorage again before heading on for the isle of Rum now when you see me sailing towards Rum you have to say now that looks just stunning...I can tell you this it was a lot better than last year when me and Dangerous Darren battled round to get into Rum where at the very last about 42kts of wind. Some of these areas will be very familiar to you now these anchorages you see you should now know as well as me... just remember always get an up to date weather report have an idea what’s happening see where the anchorage is open to and anchor according....
After waiting on a SIM card for days spending money in a marina....I had to move out as it was going to be days before this sim arrived to marina for me. I decided to go have a look about at a couple of anchorages around loch Linnhe the first one being at loch a choire. The anchorage here is pretty beautiful it’s a deep anchorage and you can get very close to the shore. The holding here is very very good in thick mud. The surrounding hills offer good walking and you may even spot an eagle. I’m glad I called In here.. After doing some hiking I decided to move on just a short hop tho over to a little anchorage at Port Ramsay on the isle of Lismore. This anchorage is well sheltered and has great holding just be careful on the approach in be aware of the rocks just have a good look at the charts tho the navionics route brings you straight in. These couple of short sails was done under head sail only as I was just killing time and in rush to be anywhere and to be honest there was a fare bit of wind ....... anyway I hope you enjoy this leg of my solo sailing season. I want to make this clear I’m just a guy from the street living adventure I’m not trying to be a movie maker are someone I’m not ...it’s just straight talking me my adventure machine taking you on the voyages and adventures and sharing a little bit of my life ......
