Great wild ride, a memory that will last forever! I have sailed that part of Scotland over about 5 years and though the weather is changeable in the Oct to March seasons, the area is fantastic as a sailing area in April – September! If you can sail there next season, I think you will find as sailors that you come to love the sailing between fantastic anchorages, sealife,seafood and scenery, better than anywhere else you have sailed. Refit in winter (i did this last winter near Oban) is tough though! Hope the heater works well, or rent a cabin!! Fantastic film as ever!
Welcome to Scotland. Terrible Beauty! Random Winds! Gnarly Tides! The best. And a great time of year – the days may be short, but the colours are often mindblowing.
Enjoy your stay in Kerrera marina. Was there in the Summer. Tim and Gil are really great. Say hello to them from Thomas – SY Noatun. Denmark
I could feel the unpleasantness of that passage even though I've never sailed. So glad you made it safely and finally made it to your winter haven. Thank you so much for sharing the good with the bad. Cheers!
I spent a couple of summers up there on an Army landing craft (LCL) doing resupply runs to Benbecula and St. Kilda. It is truly one of the most beautiful parts of the world. We nearly didn't make it up there one year when caught in a gale off Rathlin Island, and ended up head to wind going backwards over the ground. This was a 1600 ton ship, but with only 6' draft aft! Beaching on St. Kilda was amazing though!
Refreshing to see the real tension and danger of bad weather sailing. Well done!
Adam uses "I", Khiara uses "we"
Am I seeing things or was that a swordfish jumping out of the water at around 5:40???
Nail biting, then stunningly beautiful. Great video!
First of all I cannot imagine how cool it would be to have a fan drop off a bottle to me in the the middle of no place!!! Just WOW. Your video could not capture the hazards of the 40 knot winds but the totally out of character reaction you showed in the aftermath said it all!!! GREAT video!!! I really do not want you to make another one though!!! LOL
Really enjoying your channel, guys! Great filming, editing, music and content. Thank You so much for all of the effort! I have a BOSE in my living room where I watch though and it seems lately you have lost the base that adds to the feeling and drama of sailing, just a microphone fyi
An amazing episode, raw and honest. Adam a woman who would sail througn that and enjoy a whiskey afterwards. She is a keeper for certain. Good job to both of you.
@ 3:15 I have been in those exact same conditions only worse in my 30-ft sloop so I can feel your pain. I was not in a narrow channel but had 65-miles of fetch to windward and the depth had gone from 700ft to 100ft so the waves where short and steep. +2m / 3-4 second. The anemometer read steady 35 with gusts to 40. The apparent wind angle was about 15º to 20º. At wide open throttle I could only make 1.7-kts. Every time we slammed off the peak of a wave crest, it felt like the rig was going to come down. I told my wife that we needed some sail up to provide enough power to punch through the waves, but she threw a fit at the idea of my leaving the cockpit (and frankly I was not too excited about the idea myself.
I talked her into my rolling out just a bit of jib to help punch through the waves and she relented. I let out 6' at most and sheeted it in tight and then put some tension on the lazy sheet which pulled the clew closer to centerline. I then fell off just until the tiny bit of jib filled which was about 15º apparent wind angle.
The results were nothing short of miraculous. The speed shot up to a steady +7-kts and the boat completely quit slamming. We felt like Moses parting the Red Sea. The bow would punch through the crest with the top of the wave at about waist high when standing on deck. Even though the waves were well above deck height, they did not come aboard because the speed through it pushed them outward and we slid past before they could come back to us. The ride was so good that my teenage daughter climbed up in the v-berth and took a nap.
Now that is my go-to technique when I need to go somewhere dead into the wind. Motor sail with just a bit of jib hauled in tight.
At first it baffled me as to why the affect was so dramatic, but I think I have figured it out. When motoring, the thrust of the prop is below the center of buoyancy, so it tends to add to the bow lifting that the wave does. With that little bit of sail, the resultant center of effort is 10' to 15' above deck with a significant forward pull on the masthead from the forestay. This lets the mast act as a huge (45' in my case) lever-arm that prevents the bow from rising up and forces it to punch through the wave rather than rising up over it.
Not every day is palm trees, coconuts, and tiki drinks. Thanks for showing how it is on some of the other days. It sucks a bit, but I feel there is an amazing beauty to the sea/earth when Mother is speaking. Thanks for sharing. HG.
I haven't experienced quite that level of wind, but I've been solo sailing in 40+ kts gusts and reasonably large breaking seas. It was where I found my breaking point with seasickness. The point is, I could feel your discomfort and concern. I think you put a good face on it even in the midst of what I'm guessing was worse in the pits of your stomachs. Either way, I'm glad you are safe, and thank you for sharing the experience.
That was one scary sail.I was literally on the edge of my seat for the first part.
How lovely of that gentleman to bring you a gift of whisky.That first sip would have been like nectar !!
You two are just so amazing and still manage to smile.x
Very enjoyable episode, at least for your viewers, that so well demonstrated how quickly the weather can change in Scotland. All four seasons in a day! That was a difficult few days for you but enjoy Oban between all those boat chores!
IF IN DOUBT TURN ABOOUT !!!!! look at the weather that followed >>> oh dear all the time in the world … etc etc
I take it your chain locker drains into the bilge? Maybe it needs a redesign. We had a Jouet ketch that did the same thing. Really difficult to keep the bilges dry. Safe travels. @CaptainSvetlana
Wow, that’s perhaps the most terrifying sailing video I have seen.
40knts with a lee shore that close.
If your engine failed you….
Too deep to anchor in the channel. Too close to the rocks where you can.
I trust you had the anchor ready to drop. Ideally with a 100m line so you could anchor in deep water.
(I have a couple of 60m nylon climbing ropes for that emergency) .
I guess your safer option was to have stayed on anchor, but on watch with the motor running. Or aim for somewhere sheltered with a decent mooring down wind, ie Gairloch.
Well done you two, awesome dogged determination
It is always so funny to me when i see sailors that have been halfway around the world encounter the Atlantic coast of Europe and be like WTF… Why do you think we have 20ton sailboats with pilothouses ??? 😅😅😅 Welcome to the thonderdome 😂 keep on going strong and Don't underestimate the coast of Portugal.
Can you give the actual dates?
A heart rate increasing experience. Great video!!!! Did some walking in the area when there was no bridge, back in the late 1980's. A cheap temporary insulation against cold is using sheets of bubble wrap over the windows, walls and between layers of blankets and on the ground.
Always a worry when your in running white horses and mares tails ! Did that for 4 full days once I had bruises on my bruises bloody rough beating into it but no choice ! I understand your feelings.
Great episode well done you two. Try adding a very small amount of water to your whisky before you drink it, it makes it much more enjoyable . The experts do!
Dolphin at 5:39! 🐬
Snotty, when the wind streaks the water, and next it takes the tops off the waves… it's time to run for cover.
You two are showing grit. Well done.
Riding out that kind of weather looks intense. Do you find it all exhilarating or an adrenaline rush? Or is it all just nervous and uncomfortable? I could see where some would find that exhilarating, and even derive a sense of joy from partaking and a ride with nature like that, but I'm very well aware that the camera lens often hides just how bad something really is. Is there any level of enjoyment in that kind of weather-filled journey?
