We were joined by Steve, Sharon and Aishlene as novice crew for a weekend sail out of Dunstaffnage, by Oban. Newcomers to sailing perhaps, but not to having a good time and being great company. They revelled in the force 6/7 gusting 8 which powered us across to the Sound of Mull, scorned the handy bolthole of Loch Aline and shrugged off the rain as we continued to a sheltered anchorage in Loch Sunart. Sunday gave us sunshine and a more moderate wind so we enjoyed a fine sail back to Loch Aline for lunch and a walk ashore, then returned to Dunstaffnage in the evening. Aishlene seemed to enjoy her trip up the mast in the bosun’s chair!
dear brian and maggie…i was just wondering how your trip was going and thought i’d check up on you both! Well done for making it over to shetland, sounds like you’ve been having a great time along the way! glad to see you didn’t make up any stories about us three on your blog!!! (no one would believe it anyway) happy sailing, sharon.
