Snap! (Although I think you'll find she's already left the North Channel.)

Too clever.

So you have the which, you have the where what about the when or even the why ?

Isle of Mull timetable here and suspect this was Friday so perhaps the 1800 sailing from Oban?

Suspect you're right about the time, but I'm afraid it was Saturday.

So thats that photo fairly comprehensively and correctly analysed.

I'll try for a more obscure one next time

Cheers

We were probably quite near you about that time, getting ready to anchor around the other side of Lismore.

Spent most of Saturday re-soldering the VHF aerial fitting while on bumpy mooring (arrrgghhh), and re-wiring the wind indicator, which is going a bit temperamental, and a few other fiddly little jobs. So it was a late sail for us. Had to motor most of the way back today - breeze only picked up about two miles from our mooring.

At least you've got a wind indicator.

I had my standing rigging renewed over the winter when the boat was at the MRC.

It wasn't until I was half way down the Lynn of Lis that I realised the wind thing was missing. Sloppy work or what?

Saturday afternoon was odd weather wise I thought; pretty calm most of the way up from Dunstaff. and calm in Loch Creran, but it got suddenly ferocious just as I was approaching the outlying island of the Shian narrrows, and just as I was getting into the tide.

5.2 kts in the Lynn, 3.7kts in the narrows
