Trip report: Craobh Haven, Slate Islands, Corryvreckan, Jura, Islay

I have just put up a report and pics of our trip last year out from Craobh Haven around the Slate Islands, Jura and Islay on the west coast of Scotland in our 18-footer for anyone that is interested:

Admittedly not in a saily boat, but the scenery looks the same!

Great log - thanks for posting

Must have been an unusual day to go through Grey Dogs with two other yachts, we have sailed passed dozens of times and only ever seen ribs going through.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. We certainly got the weather (and sea fog) on that one.

Storyline: Yes, we were hoping that it might have been slightly more lumpy ourselves so that we would have something to write home about, but the combination of slack water and zero wind must have kept it quiet. I foolishly forgot to take some photos.
