40knt Boxing Day wind for Isla Filomena

Hollinsclough - Is the World Round?

Sat 26 Dec 2009 23:01

Boxing Day at Isla Filomena

Gusty 40knot winds to blow away the Christmas wrapping paper.

Tide and wind together for a fast Fjord run returning to a chanel on the north of this uninhabited remote island.

Seals on the rocks, shreaks of birds in the trees above a red rock shore, fringed to the sky with a blanket of green fit for heaven. Two point rope tie and the anchor towards the ocean. Awaiting a cloudy sunset on the far side of the world as the light withdraws from this amazing world of nature.
