Cape Wrath - Round Britain - 2020

 Cape Wrath 


In Case any one is confused Have posted the Videos a little ot of sequence this one obviously took us onward down the East Coast.. 

We gear up to round Britain’s Cape Horn but if I’m honest it was a walk in the park. We leave the beautiful anchorage and move to Kinlochbervie the last harbour on the mainland before rounding the cape. It had very friendly staff and it was a beautiful little place there is also a few anchorages around it.the approach is ok here to and it’s well sheltered. We moved of the next morning as the weather was perfect for hitting the cape as we approached the water was a little bubbly just letting you know what could happen here if it turned ..but if you wait on weather it’s an easy passage so don’t let the horror stories put you off just watch the weather and tides. Rounding this cape I felt very privileged she let me through with no drama but I can tell you this it was an awesome sight... after rounding it we got the chute up and started pushing along the north coast to an anchorage known as Talmine a beautiful little place on the right days ...again there is a few places round here were you can anchor it took us a few goes to get the hook to grab but once set she held well...some weed down there so bang the boat in reverse and make sure she is well caught. We spent one day here and moved of again to Scrabster the harbour guys were spot on but this wasn’t my type of place and if you need shopping it’s miles away... anyway enough talking from me. Hope you enjoy this leg of the voyage and thanks for staying onboard ⛵️
