Discover why you should pay a visit to Nairn Harbour on your next adventure sailing Scotland! Dating back to the 4th century, the ancient fishing port of Nairn didn’t become a popular holiday destination until the 1800s, attracting visitors keen to explore the Highlands, Moray Firth coastline and nearby Loch Ness. Home to one of the only two colonies of dolphins in the UK, today’s Nairn is also a magnet for marine enthusiasts and yachtsmen keen to get a glimpse at these most fascinating of sea creatures. As a result the old fishing harbour has received a new lease of life as a berthing site for pleasure craft, many of which join in the frequent racing events organised by the local sailing club. Get the full experience and discover bespoke offers on berthing, luxury yacht charter hire, and more at https://sailscotland.co.uk/offers/ Grab your free Sail Scotland brochure: https://sailscotland.co.uk/plan/sailscotlandbrochure/ Visit our website: https://www.SailScotland.co.uk Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SailScotland/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailscotland/ Say hello on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sailscotland

We just crossed the Panama Canal on Zambezi, and let’s just say… it’s not a lazy Sunday sail. Here’s what caught us off guard: ⛵️ Your boat is not important. You’re just a tiny dot next to the big container ships. Be prepared to get moved around to fit the schedule. 💪 Your line handlers need muscles. The chambers fill fast, the current pulls hard, and keeping the lines tight is real work. Don’t skip arm day 😉 🧑✈️ You need to know how to steer in currents. Between the water rushing in and the 300-meter cargo ship powering up in front of you, your rudder needs a steady hand. Now that we’re through the Canal, we have “only” 2,800nm left to sail to our final destination in Canada. Should be doable by September, right? Stay Salty! Greta & Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #canaldepanamá #catamaran

Oggi fortunatamente è una giornata senza colpi di scena. Lavoriamo, risolviamo un mega problema legato alla scelta della boccola (anche grazie all’aiuto telematico del buon Alessio) e iniziamo a sistemare la barca. Onestamente iniziamo a sentire davvero la voglia di trovare una casa, accendere il pc in uno studio semi vuoto dal trasloco e pensare unicamente alle lavorazioni del giorno. Siamo ormai abituati ai micro piovaschi di queste parti. Praticamente c’è il sole, ci sono 35 gradi, hai la crema solare e cerchi l’ombra per lavorare in pace. Pochi secondi più tardi è buio, le nubi coprono tutto il cielo, l’acqua scende come se fossimo sotto a una cascata, e tu corri dentro con pc e pochi oggetti che riesci a salvare. 4 minuti dopo circa, torna il sole ed è di nuovo estate. Così per tutta la mattinata 🤣 Verso sera facciamo una call con l’equipaggio! Mancava solo Claudio, il papà di Andrea, per essere al completo. Tra presentazioni di chi non conosceva gli altri e indicazioni tecniche su cosa mettere nello zaino (dovete sapere che in barca trolley e borsoni rigidi sono VIETATI) trascorriamo la prima mezz’oretta insieme. Chissà quante altre “mezz’orette” da qui alle Azzorre. 2200 miglia. Ci siamo quasi 💪
