SYNOPSIS
FALKEN gets a break in Oban for some needed maintenance after a long trans-Atlantic, then we're bound towards 59º North headquarters in Sweden! We've done this passage many times before, and it offers a wonderful mix of inshore cruising up Scotland's magnificent Outer Hebrides, then a sprint across the North Sea and into Scandinavia. There will be stops on this route in Scotland and potentially Norway, entirely dependent on timing and weather.
typical Weather Pattern
Expect daytime air temperatures averaging 57°F to 68°F (14°C to 20°C), however, sudden weather changes, including showers and wind shifts, are common. Southwest winds are most common, typically range from 10 to 20 knots with squalls possible. Visibility can be affected by fog or rain. The Hebrides have generally calmer seas in July, but northern areas may present more challenges.
