I confess to watching it a couple of times to help get through the winter ... and in fact I have the wee F Rib ready to go the first decent day in 2019.
Skye was remarkable and we were lucky with the weather window. Jura was my favourite outing last year with Skye following close on its tail.
Hope everyone is having a great Xmas and I wish you all a Happy New year and many great adventures in 2019
Donny, thanks for sharing these videos. We watched them today and thought your trip was fantastic. I think the reason that we missed them first time was that my wife and I were on holiday for a fortnight at the same time that they were published. Coincidentally we were in that same area. I think that it has only been our friend Chris Caton commenting on the videos in the last couple of days that made them pop up in our feed.
We were launching from Badachro, near Gairloch, about 30 miles from the north tip of Skye for the first two weeks of September. We have spent the last three years on our holidays, twice a year for a fortnight each time, in our Rib from that location. We know the waters around there quite well and how treacherous they can be, especially at the north west end of Skye when the wind is flying up the Little Minch.
To do that journey in a SIB is an amazing feat and certainly took some planning and ability.
Thanks again for brightening up a dull December weekend for us. We will look forward to your next adventures. All the best, Phil and Jane.
Carpe Diem

Cheers, will do.
