Scarba Corryvreckan & Jura Part 3: Escape from The West Coast in F7 & F8
South Easterly Winds.
Day 4: Runatallain: We awoke to face strong winds which was forecast to strengthen to Force 7 & F8 and no sign it would drop over the next few days, we decided to pack up and escape back up Jura's Western shoreline to the safety of Glengarrisdale.
The wind had strengthened to gale force by the time we were ready to launch.
We sought shelter close in up the western side but we knew the exposed sections of Shian and Corpach Bay's as well as low Western facing Glen's would afford us little shelter blasting us with crazily strong winds and dangerous gusts.
Finally making Glengarrisdale after a struggle into wind to land.
A well earned overnight rest in the Bothy
Day 5: The winds were lighter but still forecast strong South Easterlies we made our way up the remainder of the West side to the small Islands of Eileen Mor and Eileen Beag prior to crossing Corryveckan, through to the South Eastern corner of Scarba to catch the start of the flood stream and strong tailwind North up the Sound of Luing to Fladda with crazy kayak speeds recorded over 10mph !!
A quick comfort break and a bite to eat we launched to Finnish the rest of our journey north back to Easdale by late lunchtime.
