#28 | Caught in the Fog: Fairey Islands to Tiree

Join us on our journey as we embark on a trip from the Fairey Islands in Loch Sween to the Island of Tiree! In this episode, we sail through the magnificent Loch Sween, traverse the captivating Sound of Jura and Sound of Mull, and navigate past the Garvellachs before reaching Kinloch Bay on the Island of Colonsay. As we sail through these challenging waters, we carefully chart our course, giving the notorious Corryvreckan and its roaring whirlpoo a missl. Utilising the tidal currents to our advantage, we navigate past the iconic Fladda Lighthouse. Experience the power of nature as we spend a blustery night anchored in the scenic Kiloran Bay, embraced by the untamed elements. Our next leg takes us on a 35-nautical-mile passage to the Island of Tiree, navigating through showers and moderate visibility, where we hone our skills in reading our radar and AIS for safe passage. However, just as we approach our destination of Gott Bay on Tiree, a sudden turn of events throws us into a dilemma – dense fog engulfs our surroundings. Join us as we grapple with the decision of whether to proceed into the harbour with its ferry terminal or seek an alternate solution.

Join us on our incredible sailing adventure aboard our beloved sailing yacht, Polaris Helvetica, a Bavaria Cruiser 46. After leaving our native Switzerland and settling in the UK almost two decades ago, we made a life-changing decision in 2021. With our three boys grown and flown, we bid farewell to the rat race in London and embraced a new chapter aboard Polaris as our primary floating home. Throughout the years, we have embarked on numerous upgrades to enhance our sailing experience on Polaris. We swapped the standard propane gas cooker for an electric cooker and oven, installed a generator, and upgraded to a lithium (LiFePo) house battery bank. Additionally, we added 1,200W of solar panels and a water maker to ensure self-sufficiency on the open seas. The inclusion of a third reefing point on the mainsail and an inner forestay for a working jib and a storm sail further enhances Polaris as a comfortable and safe live-aboard yacht. We now sail along Scotland's breathtaking coastline, enjoying year-round living on our floating oasis. Join us as Kathrin showcases her culinary talents in the galley, preparing delicious meals and mouthwatering baked treats while we navigate the seas. We have truly fallen in love with our new lifestyle, despite the tough decisions we had to make along the way. We bid farewell to our rented house in London and let go of belongings that couldn't fit aboard Polaris. The liberating feeling of knowing that everything we own is on our small sailing boat is indescribable. Our focus is on embracing freedom, exploring new destinations, uncovering the rich histories they hold, and forging connections with fellow adventurers we meet along the way.
