31 July & 01 August 2025 – Friday – The Journey home
We left beautiful Loch Spelve around 9 am to sail the short distance back to Kerrera marina which is just across the harbor from Oban. We stopped for fuel and then tied up alongside Zusa, which is a bigger and heavier boat than Visions. We then began to pack our clothes and parcels which always…
30 July 2025 – Wednesday – MUSSELS !!!
We had a rolly night in our anchorage by the beach. We held our anchorage spot which was nice sand which is good for anchoring. We left after breakfast for Loch Spelve about 25 miles away. The Ocean Cruising club (one of the cruise participants) had invited us all to a dinner of mussels and…
29 July 2025 – Tuesday – Ardalanish
We planned to meet our buddy boat today at a harbor on the Ross of Mull which is the opposite side from Tobermory. The harbor is Ardalanish. The arm on one side is a one or two boat very protected spot. We knew there was another boat already anchored there but we went in for…
28 July 2025 – Monday – Vatersay to Gott Bay on Tiree
The fleet left Vatersay this morning. Sadly, one boat had been pushed up on the rocks in a nearby harbor during storm early Sunday morning. They had no hull damage but lost their rudder. So they had made it to Vatersay for the party but had difficulty steering. They were towed out of the harbor…
27 July 2025 – Sunday – Vatersay Excitement
We were awakened a little after 1am by Kathleen who was sleeping in the pilot house when she heard an anchor alarm. It is always prudent to set an alarm that warns you that you are not in the radius of the place you thought you had anchored. We knew that it was predicted to…
26 July 2025 – Saturday – To Vatersay (population 90)
We left Eriskay this morning after a leisurely breakfast. The weather forecast looked dicey for this afternoon so we decided to go to Vatersay which is the farthest point on our cruise. It was a windy chilly trip. Vatersay which is almost the end of the chain of the outer Hebrides islands has a beautiful …
24 July 2025 – Thursday – Talisker
We were all awake and functioning around 5am. Our plan to weigh anchor at 6 was right on time with lots of thick mud on the chain and anchor that needed washing as we pulled it up. Lock Scavaig was flat calm and dry but the midges…tiny annoying flies…were everywhere. Once we started moving the…
25 July 2025 – Friday – To Eriskay Island
The night was quite windy, but we were secure at anchor. We slept a bit late and after breakfast and dishes we left for Eriskay, one of the islands that make up the Hebrides chain. Our most distant destination is Vatersay which is planned for Sunday. We will be close enough to Vatersay that we…
23 July 2035 – Wednesday – Skye
We spent a quiet night at anchor in Loch Scavaig. Since we planned to stay another day, we slept a bit late and had a nice big frittata for breakfast along with scones that had been a gift from our guests in Tobermory. It was a nice start to our day. We then got ready to…
22 July 2025 -Tuesday – Onward to Loch Scavaig
We left our anchorage this morning with an unsure destination because many of the potential ports can accommodate only a few boats. We had good wind and favorable current once we passed the point of Ardnamurchan. This point is an important milestone. For reasons that I don’t yet know, once you pass the point, you…
