[#8 – Ireland–Scotland 2024] from Loch Buie to the sacred Isle of Iona
Early in the morning, we raise anchor at the still and at a few cable lengths from Castle Moy on Loch Buie (Isle of Mull). In this loch facing south-west, last night was moderately pleasant, due to a small swell from the south that came before the wind forecast in the same direction, forcing the Milagro to keep an annoying stand through this...

[#7 – Ireland – Scotland 2024] From Loch Melfort to isle of Mull, via the Firth of Lorn
It is after a superb stopover made up of encounters as beautiful as the surrounding landscapes that we leave Loch Melfort to head towards the south of Mull Island. To do this, several options exist and we choose that of Cuan Sound, a (fairly) narrow channel separating Seil Island from its southern neighbors, Luing and Torsa. The conditions being...

[#6 – Ireland – Scotland 2024] Stopover at Loch Melfort
It was at the end of the day that we arrived quietly under sail at the eastern end of Loch Melfort, dropping anchor in a very sticky muddy bottom (for the chain and the bridge too, by the way…). As soon as we arrive, Damien receives a call from one of his friends and former student, Christian, on his way from Leeds to join us on board for the...

[#5 Ireland – Scotland 2024] from Jura to Loch Melfort, via the Corryvreckan
Sheltered in a loch on the west coast of Jura, we let the bad weather pass and took advantage of the stopover to hike on land, read and rest. The generally ocher vegetation at the end of winter is currently undergoing spring change and is gradually turning green. The ferns unfurl little by little and entire fields of blue flowers adorn the...
