Aleria's Jaunt to Scotland: 17 July 2013, Tinker's Hole, Isle of Mull, Scotland
Parting Company Vicki and Paul aboard Nokomis Daria studying the coast pilot We agonized over the decision. Should we continue on with the OCC fleet which was heading around the bottom of Jura and back up Jura Sound where we had just been, or should we part company and head north while we had a good window to do so. The forecast was for westerly wind of about 15 knots today, dying out to less than 5 knots and variable the next day as another high settled over Scotland and all of Europe. That high was to remain in place for at least a week. If we went south and then around Jura, we’d be motoring all the way north after that. We’d had enough motoring, but we really wanted to stay with the group.
