Unsupported row around UK

[ProDave]

They have now reached Wales after crossing the Bristol Channel and anchored not far outside Milford Haven now.

Lets hope they get a run of favourable weather now.

They are now working their way up the East coast of Ireland.

They are now working their way up the West coast of Ireland.

That would be a very ambitious row - think they are on the EAST coast of Ireland

Just passing Howth, visible on the YC webcam. Looked rather boisterous at times - fairly pitching up and down.

 

[ridgy]

Making serious progress now, another epic day yesterday. Should be back in Scotland by the weekend at this rate.

 

[ProDave]

Back in Scottish water now, just off the Mull of Kintyre

 

[Mister E]

They are doing well.
How far have they got left?

 

[ProDave]

When they were half way up the Irish coast they calculated 500 miles to go, so it will be somewhat less now.

 

[RunAgroundHard]

It must be great feeling having well and truly broken the back of the journey.

 

[Steve_N]

It's looking tough at the moment though; used the flood to good effect to cross the North Channel but now seem to be getting pushed back towards the Mull with 4 hours of the ebb still to run.

EDIT: anchor down and holding now by the look of it.

Going south at 1.6 knots...

 

[SaltIre]

Now anchored off the south-east coast of Gigha, in the sound between Gigha and Gigalum.

Looks like moved over to inside Gigalum to avoid being on a lee shore when the wind picks up as forecast in the night

 

[Hadenough]

Get your donations in. They are nearly at their financial target but deserve much more. When you compare the shenanigans of the Olympics to this couples genuine endeavour there is no comparison. And yes, I have donated and will again.

[SaltIre]

On the move again, heading west round the south tip of Gigha. I wonder if they are heading for the Sound of Islay or the Sound of Jura...

Hiding in Craighouse from the wind

Strange way to go from Gigha in this forecast. Directly North to Crinan - with lots of bays to stop off in between - would seem to have made more sense

i wondered about that, esp as SE wind last night. maybe they have a mate in Craighouse? W in the wind from 1400ish. tide going N from about 0500.

 

[Steve_N]

It's hard to work out what's going on today - hope they don't have a problem. They didn't use this morning's North-going tide and following breeze and have now re-anchored close in to Craighouse. Will have to wait for an FB update.
