I'm guessing the pitch bit is clear? The latest 28" pitch Mercruiser Bravo IIIs are a four and three blade set. Looks odd on the ground but not so obvious on the boat. Causes some amusement on the...

Interesting question about the changes. I've asked myself that many times. I want to add a couple of minor bits of lekkie - but they were omitted from the original build for budgetary reasons. TBH...

..and finally
So there it is - a week of ribbing that surpassed all expectations and just kept giving. Obviously the weather was king - I don't remember a week as good for boating. I'm going to give myself some...

Day 7
Our last day at sea (maybe). This was to be our trip home across the North Channel and onward to NW Donegal. We would have to contend with Rathlin's races and overfalls and Malin Head. What could...

Day 6
I awoke, or was awoken at 0430 by cuckoos - lots of them. Coll was infested with the damn things and the racket wasn't helped by the (wait for it) peacocks! Cuckoo! CUCKOO!! SCREAAACKE!!! They were...

Day 5 part 2
Eventually Tiree and Coll came up and we slipped between them and entered Arinagour bay where we took up a mooring and relaunched the tender (it sits on the engine cover while inflated). We had...

Day 5
A quick planning session was conducted over charts, forecasts, coffee and bacon butties. North or South? Barra or Stornoway? I'd hoped to visit the Shiants but we did the sensible thing and decided...

Day 4 part 3
By the time we were "allowed" to depart, Enchanted Isle had offered (Go Team Redbay!) to guide us through the outer stacks around Boreray so we unhitched and followed them under cliffs and overhangs...

Day 4 part 2
Once on the hill we overheard some chit-chat on the VHF between the warden and the MOD contractors regarding us. They wanted to meet us. Back at the quay I was approached by a fellow with "QinetiQ"...

Day 4
We were up early and checked the forecast. Seumas Morrison of Sea Harris told us that today was a "go" for him and that Mike, his skipper of the day would keep an eye out for us. We were bound for...

Day 3
We had an early start because our rafting host had a 0800 tour departing. We slipped over to the mainland and scoped out Applecross and nearby quays. It's not a particularly approachable coast for...

Day 2
We awoke to birdsong, ferry bells and another clear blue sky. We took on 200L of diesel from MacKay's dockside pump. Petrolheads will have a short haul with cans - LOL! We decided to take it easier...
