Join us on our journey as we bid farewell to our winter berth in Largs and set sail for new horizons. After two unforgettable winters, leaving behind cherished friends, we embark on a fresh adventure. Amid relentless weather conditions that had reigned for the past month, a sudden weather window beckons us to plan for a fearsome passage and to navigate the notorious Mull of Kintyre.
With a bit of planning, we navigate the Mull amid challenging spring tides and gusty winds, braving the turbulent overfalls at the Mull to reach the tranquil shores of Islay. There, we reunite with old friends aboard the good ship Castella, reigniting the camaraderie of past encounters.
For those curious about our passage planning methodology, we delve into the intricacies in the second part of this video. Using today’s journey as a blueprint, we unveil our step-by-step approach of how we plan our sailing passages, inspired by a simple yet effective graphic method apparently utilised in the Royal Navy.
Don’t miss this captivating blend of adventure and information as we navigate the high seas and share insights into the practice of our passage planning.
