BCA members Barrie and Sandra Letts will share their five week adventure sailing the Scottish Islands in 2022, with their friends, Mike and Cate, aboard Mike and Cate’s Moody 42 Kealoha V.

What started as a cruise to the Danish Faroe Islands from Inverness, Scotland, via the Orkneys, was not to be… Weather, the great arbitrator, served up adverse winds and seas dictating a change to Plan B. Over a five week period they diverted to the Shetland Islands, transited the Caledonian Canal and sampled the Hebrides. Not bad as far as second choices go.

There will be a few added pictures from an earlier visit to the area in 2015, aboard their own Passat II. They do not offer up sunny beaches with scanty bathing costumes. However, if rugged scenery, surprising history, rare wildlife and single malt pique your interest, you will want to attend this club night.

Barrie and Sandra have been sailing together since the mid 1990s and members of BCA since 2006. They are recipients of BCA 999 Coastal and Offshore awards, and are active BCA “doners”, with Barrie having recently served on the VI Watch and BCA’s Board of Directors.
