That was a drama! Made it to the little bay on west side of Corryvrekan. Very gusty and tore the Screecher trying to furl it. Anchored close to shore, seemed ok but 2hrs later dragged and I was being sucked into the Corryvrekan. Managed to get outboard down and motored with anchor still down back onto the beach. Jumped onto shore, recovered anchor and reset it into the sand. Spent very disturbed night with winds gusting up to 39kts🥵
Had no reception and unbeknownst to me the Coast Guard had be alerted to a dinghy that had been found similar to mine so had launched the helicopter to find me at 0230hrs! I was safely at anchor.
Up at 0530 and waited for slack tide to passage through Corryvrekan Sound. Scary! As I regained reception loads of messages from everyone who thought I was in trouble.
