Holy Loch Adventure

During the summer, August 2009, with a crew including Jenny Wright with Ruth and Duncan (newly arrived from Singapore) and Susan, myself and Ruairidh Skerryvore took us quickly to Holy Loch, just across the Firth of Clyde, heeled well over under all sail in about 25knots of wind. Most of the crew thouroughly enjoyed this, but others enjoyed the arrival much more. The highlight of the voyage was the discovery that Mackerel were running and willing to take any lure that came close to the water.

Final leg of the delivery...Largs to Rhu

After first arriving into the UK at Cowes, Isle of Wight, and a tortuous discussion with HMRC ("Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs") which lasted almost as long as the voyage from Melbourne, Skerryvore finally sailed the last leg from Largs on the west coast to Rhu on 17th November 2007. This short trip of circa 20 miles or so was completed without major incident with Andy Scott and Kate Dobson as crew.
