Qué cubre este vídeo

Anchoring in front of castle ruins is the defining feature of this Scottish coastal passage, with Steph and Travis aboard Jibsea stopping at two historic sites: an unnamed castle on their first night and Castle Tioram in Loch Moidart, a 13th-century Clan MacDonald stronghold built on a tidal island accessible only at low tide.5:58 The tidal island floods quickly — the causeway disappeared while they were ashore — and the castle's masonry is condemned as liable to collapse, so entry is prohibited.9:06 En route, they transit a notoriously current-driven cut between mainland Scotland and Islay, roughly one to two miles long, where mistiming the current makes passage impossible; they had been turned back there on a previous trip.2:22 Tobermory on the Isle of Mull is the final stop, an anchorage in the Inner Hebrides where depths run 40 feet near shore and 60 feet in the middle — anchoring close to shore is essential.14:01 A recurring instrument failure traced to a faulty bus bar knocked out autopilot, depth, and speed displays twice during the passage, forcing navigation by chart plotter alone through a difficult estuary.11:14 Timing the current at the Islay cut is non-negotiable; a previous failed attempt confirmed that bucking the flow is not an option.2:22
