Now that I no longer have a boat in scotland I would just like to tip my hat to the Scottish sailors
you are dead lucky that you sail in what is argueably - weather aside - the finest sailing ground in the world. The tides, the skies, the wildlife, the sheltered lochs, Kyles, Voes and Minns offer some absolutely glorious sailing.
Never seen anything like it.
Add to that the remoteness of some of these places and the fact that at any point a three day blow can come rampaging in when all you can do is to sit below and read good books. I have met some tough well read bastards up there.
I filmed a minute or two of this three day storm in Plockton on a mooring

there were about six other occupied boats - other people sitting it out patiently waiting for scotland to do this

and when she does this there is really nothing like it
I hope I can go back - so much more to see, so much more to do, so much more to experience and film.
