What this video covers
Tom and Karen sail their boat from the Isle of Rum south to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, beating upwind in 19–20 knots of southerly wind with one reef in the jib for most of the day.▶ 5:50 The passage requires repeated tacking around Eigg and Muck, with reduced visibility prompting them to test a newly repaired foghorn — the fix was corroded wire connections on the existing unit rather than a replacement.▶ 8:30 Tobermory is crowded, with moorings and a marina fully occupied; they anchor at the far end of the harbor and dinghy in.▶ 9:57 Ashore, Tobermory's pastel waterfront is a recognized landmark, and Brown's Merchants — selling hardware and whiskey since 1870 — gets a visit.▶ 12:00 This is their third Scotch distillery tasting of the cruise.▶ 12:26 On Rum, before departing, they walked the central valley from the harbor, describing it as easy terrain with more challenging hikes available inland.▶ 2:31 A waterfall above a subsequent anchorage is noted as a former freshwater supply source.▶ 14:34 Corroded foghorn wiring is worth checking before passages in low-visibility conditions.
