Storm Glider Goes North 9: Crinan to Oban (Oban marina)

We left early and timed it nicely through Dours Mor, past Corryvreckan, and between Fladda and Dubh Sgeir. Some visible rips and waves but there was no wind to speak of and the tides were in our favour. Max about 2 – 2.5 KN of tide with us at any time through here. Not the same for the Oban lifeboat in the Corryvreckan.

Now this crew member is signing-off by toasting the new yacht with some more local produce, this time all the way from Nyanga, Zimbabwe, while Storm Glider continues her journey further north.

Cheers!
Enjoy
