Sailing Peggy

July 16, 2024

A three day trip from Mallaig.

Day One

https://www.strava.com/activities/11880145525 18nm T: 5hrs 15mins – Mallaig to Eigg

This trip turned out to be a game changer in the way we decided to sail Peggy, the weather was more bouncy than forcast and i did start to feel sick on the way to eigg. I cant remember where we were heading but we decided to take shelter in Eigg. The next day we would change tack and head for Loch Moidart. The next few day were lovely wee sails wee walks and a swim….we or kenny realised that short interesting hops with time ashore were the way to go with peggy.

Day Two

https://www.strava.com/activities/11885818623 D: 13.3nm T: 4hrs 41mins Eigg to Loch Moidart

We had a lovely sail over to Loch Moidart and an interesting negotiation to get up the channel to the castle. We hopped we had got in far enough for Peggy to dry out on her legs but we hadn’t. One lesson learned was that we were on neeps and springs would have worked much better. after a nice lunch we blew up the dingy and went ashore for a wee walk. Kenny was a little moany at first but i think he enjoyed it. He was anxious at the end to get back to Peggy.

A lovely wee sail round to Samalaman and a swim round the boat.
