Ok so we're halfway through our trip now. We are at the 50 day Mark of our travels.
Our passage today is from Rum to Kyle in Loch Alsh.
We'll weigh anchor at 0900 hours and leave lock Scresort leaving the North cardinal buoy to starboard, sail East towards the point of Sleat, there is a white lighthouse on the Headland. Keep that to Port follow the port hand coastline round to the northeast heading up to the Kyle Rhea. There is a lighthouse with a sectored light in the Rhea to show the safe transit lines from both South and North.
Through here the tidal stream can be very strong, up to 8 knots on Springs, so timing is essential we will be arriving hopefully at low tide after which the streams will run North coming out of the Kyle Rhea into Loch Alsh. Turn to the west and slightly towards the northside. Just before The Harbour there are a couple of small islands to the right. There is a bouyed channel and hopefully a harbourmaster on 01599 953 467 mobile 07768 980924
Trip 5hrs 33 nm
