I watched this on the big screen in the bedroom. Such a different experience, particularly when Salty was swinging on her anchorage in Loch Aline! Then it got even better when you were between Mull and Lismore!

Well no better here in the antipodes with a terrible wet mid-spring and rains and floods forecast all summer, all courtesy of our 3rd consecutive annual La Nina event, amplified by climate change. Its more like Scotland here again this year, so plans like yours in tatters

We had a lovely stay on Loch Aline (Loch Alainn - pronounced like ah-leen, stress on first syllable) on anchor in July. The name means 'beautiful loch', and so it was on that day. Calm airs, a quiet peaceful anchorage, evening sunshine.

I saw you were thinking of going on to Loch Spelvie before deciding on Oban. Wise choice! We took our boat, Súil Eile, to Loch Spelve and we just couldn't get our anchor to hold in the mud there. In the end we had to sail to Oban, anyway!

From memory Loch Aline has always been a source of solid mud!! And the word for a "Long Tack" is "Wearing Ship" which is what the old ships of the line had to do most of the time – which meant they were very easy to get "embayed" by an onshore wind. There was a tall ship in recent memory that got embayed on the North Cornish coast – and his engine didn't work (or he left it too late) and ended up on the rocks – I think it was one of those cadet training ships – there was loss of life and the skipper got taken to court for it. (just done a search for it – it was the Maria Asumpta in 1995 off Padstow) – the skipper was found guilty of manslaughter and got 18 months. Don't know where that one came from – should have warned you to pull up a bollard before I got started!!

New musical, starring Gaynor.
The Sound of Mull.
Picture it.... A camera swooping around SV Salty Lass, coming in. Gaynor, in full foul weather gear, emerges from the saloon, shaking her head and belting out, " The seas are alive, with the sound of OH! MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!"
So glad that you're safe, somewhat dry and that you didn't drag anchor too much.
Thank you for sharing and the vistas behind you were stunning to see.
