Tim has made it to the Isle of Gigha and is making the most of the good weather before it's gone, as there is a rather big storm heading his way.

Great stuff. I think Tim may have smiled on that last sail! All the best. James😊
I won't stand for such accusations 😂
Very nice trip
Great video, thanks for taking us along!
Your welcome, plenty more to come this season
Here’s a quick tip for cleaning seashells of sand, get tap water into a pan with a handful of sea salt cover seashells with the water and salt, repeat this process 5 times every 15/20mins
After that you can cook them and eat no sand at all
Good tip, I soaked over night in sea water which I changed a few times I guess this had a similar effect as they were clear of sand and very tasty.
Those mussel's looked nice. Thanks for reminding me that I've got mussel's, king prawns and squid slices in the freezer. 😊
That sounds like the makings of a pretty epic seafood platter
I've only anchored about ten times - in Loch Long; Carrick Castle; Rothesay, and various places around Bute. I didn't use my anchor buoy / tripping line at first but now I find it so reassuring to see it floating there!
I think is a good idea, like you say it gives you some reassurance and extra info as to what is happening with the anchor. Only issue I have with mine is its a bit short so can get dragged under water in deep anchorages. Almost caused a drama when I anchored on Rona, its a really tight anchorage and my ball was about a foot under the water, decided to tie and extra line and fender to it so no one would foul on it but before I could get the dinghy ready 3 very large boats came in and I had to rush over and warn them which led to a lot of panic as they couldn't really hear what I was trying to tell them.
@@joandtim Yes, my (inherited) buoy has 9m of line on it and, if the bottom is shelving steeply, I've sometimes missed my 6m depth 'target' and seen the buoy disappear. Or, the anchor fouls the line with the same result. One other thing: I've recently extended the 45m anchor chain that came with the boat - I felt it was going to restrict the maximum depth I could anchor in.
When did you get that great weather 😂we had grim stuff for our cruise.
Great footage 👍
@@V8guy3500 It was pretty shortlived to be fair, not sure we got much nice weather after this
Was surprised re you felt you had to start the engine as batteries were low, what does your wind turbine give you in those winds?
Good spot to ride it out. Enjoy your vid's.
Not much is the short answer, its not a particularly powerful one but its on my list to investigate this winter to see if I can get more out of it. The main issue though is that my house bank battery's are pretty much dead and need replacing. Even after a "full" charge they barely last a day so running the engine is more to cool down the fridge and charge up phones/laptops etc.
Hi can you give me any details on your wind turbine and does it generate much power?
Its a Rutland 504, basically the smallest one you can get. On the generation here is my responce to someone else asking a similar question. p.s sorry for late reply I missed the comment.
Tbh not that satisfied. Its pretty low power so wasn't expecting that much from it, but was hoping it would go some way to offset the power drain from the fridge. In reality I am not sure it has generated much of anything. Our house bank is pretty much dead so doesn't hold much charge which isn't helping. My plan is to replace the house batteries this year and then do some testing to see what I am getting out of it. At peak performance it should be about 45w which would offset the fridge consumption, but I don't know if it is generating anywhere near that amount or if it is that is making it to the batteries, could be connection issues etc. which I need to investigate.
So it hasn't really delivered to date but I am not sure if that is the turbine or the way I have it set up. Will probably cover this in a video at some point in the future.
Cant understand why you deflated and shiped dinghy and collapsed sprayhood for a small blow like that. Boats generally bow into wind on anchor or mooring which would minimise any stresses on sprayhood and a strong well secured painter would see the dinghy ok.
