Ross Agar

Last leg of our Scottish adventure. Slipped the buoy at midday and got the sails up with a couple of reefs outside Portree in a fresh breeze. Some hefty gusts up to 30kts and variable angle behind the hills. Crossed the inner sound and under the bridge into Kyle. Nice to have a decent sail on the last day.

Light winds and flat calm in the morning so motorsailed across the Minch and around Skye. Winds picked up as we approached Portree and we set sails and tacked into the harbour. some quality tacking from a now seasoned crew! Picked up a buoy (on the first attempt) for the night

20-25kts from the South and heading into it all day. Motorsailed the first few hours and then we had a better track for the wind as we headed SE and turned the motor off. Lively sail along the coast and around Scalpay with a pod of dolphins with us for a while. Under the bridge under sail and then into Tarbert

Flat calm with light winds behind us. Motorsailed across from Lochinver to Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. We were joined by 4 or 5 friendly dolphins for about 5 mins playing off our bow. Otherwise uneventful crossing
