A sail around the Isle of Bute, Scotland [Ep 19]

One of my best days sailing yet, a single-handed day sail around Bute, Scotland. Perfect conditions for October, beautiful autumn light and perfect wind for a quick sail around Bute before storm Babet arrives...
thanks for watching 😊

Great vid, brings back memories. I did my dayskipper around there 2 years ago to the day in the same tasty winds. Amazing time.

I'm sitting in the monsoon in Aberdeenshire while my 342 is tied up in Inverkip. Smashing film, and that drone footage as you went round south of Bute with Arran in the background, was just lovely. The Kyles are really magical, so scenic, but often a challenge as the wind behaves in all sorts of strange ways round the loop. Great to see someone enjoying a day out sailing in Scotland in October, and appreciating the majesty of it all 👍 Thanks pal, cheered me up no end.

[@SailingSula]

hopefully it dries up in Aberdeen soon... thanks for your comment 👍

Great day sailing, you caught some beautiful shots. I have my 'new to me' yacht Fadeaway on the hard currently, but looking forward to next season. Hope to see you out there.

[@SailingSula]

cheers Paul, catch up next season 👍

[@sailingsheriff3349]

Love that part of Scotland and thanks for sharing your travel so I could see what I missed when I was sailing there. The whole sail although as exciting was in horizontal rain and mist covered mountains 😩😩😩 you were extremely lucky. On that day with wind and weather. Thank you

[@SailingSula]

thanks Roy 👍

[@dickypowell]

Really enjoy the videos, hoping to get a Hanse 338 in the spring just wondering what is the size of your tender? because it looks a good fit on the deck. Thanks

[@SailingSula]

thanks, the dinghy in that video is the Honwave 2.7m . cheers

Hey friend, we are subscribers on your channel and are travelling to Scotland in May 2024 and will be passing Largs. Would be great to catch up and say hi.

[@SailingSula]

Sounds good Philip, give me a shout nearer the time, would be nice to meet you. Murray

[@PhilipBendeich]

Will do. By the way, Margaret was born in Edinburgh and my mother's maiden name is Murray.@@SailingSula

[@PhilipBendeich]

Hi Murray. We shall be in Largs on 6-7 May. Will you be sailing on on land?

[@SailingSula]

@@PhilipBendeich Hi Philip, unfortunately I won't be in largs then.

[@dominicmacklon7225]

Superb shots. Which drone do you use?

[@SailingSula]

thanks Dom, that is the mavic 3.

[@richardharrison336]

I really enjoy your channel and I'm hoping to venture up your way someday. I'm new to sailing and only really been in and around the Solway Firth so far but it strikes me that it must be the choppiest sea ever because the water looks so calm in your videos. I can only dream of being able to walk to the bow, most times I have to crawl. Is it really quite a calm sea area in the Clyde or does it only look that way on camera?

[@SailingSula]

thanks Richard, the Clyde is generally quite sheltered and you can sail in there when you wouldn't off the west coast. Of course in really bad weather it can also get quite rough in the Clyde. thanks for watching.
