Dinghy Cruising. Loch Etive. Teased out of Time.

One of my lockdown goals is to edit masses of clips I have taken of various trips we have made in the past. This very old Vlog is an account of a dinghy crusing trip we made in Easter of 2011. Our boat was a 25 year old Wayfarer Mark 2.
Our plan was to launch at Taynuilt on Loch Etive and to make out onto Loch Lihne to do a circumnavigation of Lismore. We wanted to visit the west side of Lismore. In the end our plan had to be modified due to the weather. Sometimes this is necessary when you are sailing in Scotland in April! Much of the film is in HD but for some of the wet sailing conditions we recorded video on an old waterproof Olympus compact camera and the resolution is pretty ropy. Apologies!

For the music, I have have sampled from Montreal by the excellent Talisk, Eleanor Plunkett by the brilliant Colum Sands and the ending of Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Van Morrison. I don't own this music and would urge you to check it out.

This trip is also written up as an article entitled Teased out of Time published in the Journal of the Dinghy Cruising Association.
