A where is it - name the gap

[MoodySabre]

Clue - not on the east coast!

Jack Sound?

 

[MoodySabre]

That lasted a long time

Yep - caech 'i

 

[sarabande]

you are a braver man than I am, Gunga Din !

On a day like the one shown in the 'photo it is fairly straightforward. On other days maybe not so good, but neither are the alternatives unless you take the much longer way round!

 

[MoodySabre]

I went round the outside to the North Haven!

I went through Jack Sound on my DS practical with me on the helm and the skipper calling the tacks...... as we went through the sound itself. It's a beautiful place ....... on a nice day.

What's all the fuss about. It's more than twice as wide as the passage through East Kyle up the Kyles of Bute

I can't see anything at all. Is it a new feature I am missing somewhere?

EDIT: That's odd, the pictures ahve appeared now.

Because in the Kyles of Bute you've got namby-pamby lateral buoys all over the place to keep you away from the fluffy rocky bits. In Jack Sound you've just got a few jagged pointy bits of rock to line up for the safe passage. And the tide wooshes through Jack Sound at times too, not like the kiddies-playground East Kyle.

There's no doubt about it. Welsh sailors are dead 'ard.

Angus - go to the User CP - Edit Options - the last thing is the Editor Interface which you should change from Basic to Standard and then you get all the bells and whistles

Aah. One I knew. Pity.

Know it well. We dive week in, week out in Ramsey Sound, a few miles to the North. Very nasty when it picks up to go North on a spring in wind over tide. Been caught a few times.

Hoping to sail through JS for the first time the weekend after this.
