Explorers are us so we came about the island in a shallow run to tie sail yacht Hollinsclough against the rocks to oil drum cleats. Time for a lighthouse visit. We walked the steep steps over a smart red metal bridge. A wooden helipopter platform greeted us and then it was time for coffee with the light house keeper and his wife. Giant satellite dishes but a small lighthouse, almost toy like. More a communications platform. Down below dusky dolphins played around the rocks finding lunch in the kelp where the water was crystal clear.
