J109 Going to Red was weaving in and out of the slower fleets as the made their way to Oban on the first passage race of West Highland Week 2023. Things we relatively calm at this stage of the race with the helping tide reducing the apparent breeze which made for smooth sailing which made it easy to judge close crosses like this one. As the day progress and the breeze built things got a little more lively towards the second half of the race with a few of the close crosses getting done with the boats more out of control than in. The bottom up boats team had a great time at WHYW, the weather was not great but the sailing and the social life more than made up for the damp conditions. If you are enjoying our shorts actions why not subscribe to our channel to catch up with all the actions.
We waited an extra day at Staniel Cay waiting on better wind to make our Way to Bell Island. We explored Bell Island earlier in the season with our son and love it. The Seaquarium is a must-do. It's best to do at Slack Tide...and we failed adhere to that advice...or rather we had thought that it was going to be slack but the current had turned around.
We had a severe storm roll through in the middle of the night! Tornado warning over Belhaven, torrential rains and lightning--what a show! None of the violent thunder we hear in the Midwest but oh....what a lightening show!! (only two close strikes!) #sliceoflife #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea
