Spring of this year - reported quite fully on Scufflebuff - I was coming through Cuan Sound on a big spring tide with 2 other notables from the Forum - 1 a recently qualified yachtmaster.
Out passage coincided with the Clyde Coastguard broadcast of the afternoon weather forecast.
From memory it went something like "Ardnamurchan Point to Cape Wrath, including the waters of the Outer Hebrides - Wind Westerly Force 11 imminent"
I know technically this was not our area but it felt pretty close and call it lack of self control if you wish or blame Paras stew - but I broke wind and followed through.
My two compatriots had to help me get out of my fouled sterngear and I owe them a debt of gratitude for their support at this time. Had there not been such support, bearing in mind the precariousness of the ships position - with the Cleit rock dead ahead - I cannot bear to think what the outcome might have been.
Hope this helps
