Riding Out Storm Floris in Scotland | Sailing to Rum & A Talisker Whiskey Run
This episode has it all — from hurricane-force winds to perfect sailing days.
We start by leaving our anchorage at Loch na Droma Buidhe when the wind shifts, putting us on a lee shore. Then it’s all hands on deck as we prepare for Storm Floris, which batters Scotland with hurricane-strength gusts. We ride it out safely in Tobermory, sharing what it was like and how we managed.
Once the storm clears, we set sail for the Isle of Rum, enjoying one of those dream passages with just the right amount of wind. Onshore, we wander through the island’s ancient woodland with Lancer — a magical walk.
After two days on Rum, it’s time to move on, so we point the bow towards Carbost on Skye, where Matthew finally gets his hands on a bottle of Talisker whisky straight from the source.
