Today s jaunt is to South Uist. There are a couple of anchorages at Caolas Mor, in amongst the small islands to the north of the Island. We shall tuck in behind the two islands of Siolaigh Mor and Siolaigh Beig
From the anchorage we will head NE across Loch Snizort leaving the rocky outcrops to port while heading anticlockwise round the headland and lighthouse of Waternish and then take a heading of 230° for the next 5 hrs.
By this time We will be closing the land and need to get a fix. Now without modern GPS I think I would be hard pressed to do this. If the visibility is good we should be able to see Ushenish Lighthouse to the south and the northern edge of Loch Skipport which form a line of headlands. Not that easy to identify so reliance on navigational equipment will be the order of the day.
This is proper wilderness country so don't expect pubs or coffee shops, just stunning views, wildlife and the maybe a few fishermen.
