Motor sailing through NW passage last Sherkin and Heir Islands

A few rocky bits can be seen on left of photo to trap the unwary

Clear Island in top right of photo, which leads on to the Fastnet Rock some 6 nms away.

Stunning coastline in glorious sunshine

Gusting wind as we approach the lighthouse on Rock Island, which leads into Crookhaven

Willi on the helm, still talking about Aston Martins!

Entrance to our new anchorage in Crookhaven, with 2 reefs in the sails

Getting closer
