GOAT ISLAND HEBRIDES

GOAT ISLAND

So we leave the beautiful little anchorage of Gallanach bay and head of to get some supplies at Craobh marine. Very helpful people even in these crazy times. Nice fast sail up and we anchored to the south of the marina which has awful holding and there has been fishing trawl lines dumped that you may catch I can assure you it’s no fun freeing your anchor. Soon as we arrived we got straight to it and got everything ready for the next mornings run for supplies. We carried two drums of water back to boat and lots of shopping..all I can say is a big thanks to the staff at the marina for a couple of things they done for us. We also met up with a charter skipper who went out of his way to bring us fishing bait and whisky and even asked did we need anything else .. so big thanks Davy. After a good stock up we made of again and headed for goat island an anchorage just of loch Craignish. Goat island offered us very good shelter and brilliant holding and we stayed here two weeks with some strong wind. There is so much to explore here very stunning indeed you have sea otters,eagles, Canadian geese and the odd big fat seal...fishing off season is very slow indeed. There is also a beauty of a waterfall we’re you can get fresh water and a dam good wash/shower. Just go explore as it’s to much to explain all the things worth doing... While having some down time we decided to do a bit of a beach clean and give something back to the ocean and beaches we love so much it was very rewarding for the soul. So things got a little strange here and we decided to show people just how easy it is to survive from the junk you can find and what nature can give...living like true castaways for a few days...brings man back to his roots I guess. Anyway I hope you enjoy the video.⛵️
