  • Finally spring arrived in mid April , so I service the Quicksilver 420 Alu hull Boat and 25Hp outboard before heading to sea. I enjoyed a lovely day going round the Island of Scarba ..going through the Corryvreckan and Grey dogs on the way. Hopefully the first sea adventure of many this year.

    WOW. Stay Safe!! But for videos like this, one day this beautiful landscape and this history will be gone replaced by changing tides and moving earth.

    Fantastic video Donny, love that area, not been through the corryvreckan / grey dogs on my own boat yet but have done so with Seafari a couple of times on springs for added fun….your trip has made me excited for the better weather and conditions 👍

    Pick your tides used to take family to cullipool on luing for our holls took our zodiac through the grey dog and corry always picked the tides and it was just a trip we liked to finish with afternoon tea on garvellachs still remember the beehive cells and the little head stone. But in the seventies and eighties did a lot of paddling and camping around Jura, Islay Mull etc with the kayaks we would take on the choppy bits doing pop outs in the grey dog, still got the slides great times with a bunch from Durham kayak club ( where have we all gone now)

    I've wanted to see the Corryvreckan ever since I lived in Lochgilphead,over 40 years ago.
    Iam now 61,in Yorkshire,I think this video is the closest I,ll ever get.

      Awww,,its well worth a visit if you get up this way again alan Seafari do trips through it from Easdale and they often go in it when I stay away..but their tour boat has two 300HP outboards ..so nothing to them 😀

    Like many people i feel privileged to see your escapedes up n doon the waters with scenic views of landscape inclusive, However,that trip had my jam tart racing and worried I'd do something childish when i saw they frightening tides around you both. Lots of thanks for original product with a birds eye view all for free to enjoy. Great stuff.

      @@donnywilcox Hiya Donny, Thanks for taking the time to reply, and better you than myself in these waters. Did you manage to do the rib run last week? I just had a call from my son Calum to say how much he enjoyed the day but unfortunately due to fog the Sunday was cancelled and he returned home a tad earlier. Perhaps I'll have to borrow a rib for next year, and I'm still struggling to renovate my wee boat mainly down to the costs of materials nowadays so I'm just doing it grudgingly slow progress. I'll look forward to the rib run video when it's out on TH-cam. Thanks again.Robert.

    Hi donny,
    Are these boats given to you or do you buy out of choise
    I only ask because I am looking for one around £12000 about 3.5m
    Just wondering which is best for my money
    Or are they all made in the same factory in china😉😁👍
