I've often wondered about sailing round the whole of Islay, having been around the inside of Isaly and Jura many times. Might get 5-6 days to do that in August this year, weather permitting. Any suggestions of where to stop overnight, other than the obvious marina in Port Ellen?
It'll probably be a clockwise route starting at the south and, with 5 days available, I'm looking for ideas on where is worth heading to, especially around the west and north side. I might also try to add in Oronsay and Loch Tarber (Jura) on the way round.
Clearly, weather dictates whether I go anywhere near the outside of Islay , but where would you recommend if weather allows? Where's good to go ashore for food?
11m boat, 1.5m draught. Prefer to anchor at night.
Thanks.
