Headed West to Outer Hebrides

Gemini1

Sun 28 Jul 2019 16:04

A variety of wind strengths and directions today although mainly behind us as we headed for Loch Grimshader, 4 1/2 miles south of
Stornaway. The highlight was deploying the mackerel feathers at the entrance to the loch in the rain. Virtually instant success with a catch of 5 mackerel for supper tonight. One got away, but we did not want to be too greedy.

This is a heavenly anchorage in a remote and quiet spot, in just 3 metres of water.
