Difficult where-is-it?

[damo]

NW Scotland but not Skye or the Outer Isles?

Looks like better holding about 30m ahead.

South of Irvine - is that Arran across the way? Could be wrong - hell I am wrong! Further North...mmm? Maybe even Ireland!

 

[Sgeir]

Warmish. So far so good.

The holdings appears to be very good; the dark patches are only essence of seaweed, a very thin layer of seaweed debris on top of sand. There didn't seem to be any weed actually growing in the anchorage area.

The shoreline is stone and pebble, and I had doubts about the holding, but the anchor dug in first time, and a quick check revealed a sandy bottom.

I also deduce that it is on the east coast of an island, with volcanic rock overlying sedimentary. Islay, looking across to West Loch Tarbert?

I know, I know ....... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif - nice anchorage - better keep it a "secret".

Is it the Shiant islands??

 

[Sgeir]

Good logical deductions, and well spotted - it's looking east, it's an island, and there's basalt over sedimentary. But not Islay or Jura - but you're really on the right track.

This is looking from the boat;

Is it Mull looking over to Kerrera (no idea really but just feel I want to make a guess)

 

[Sgeir]

Good guess, more or less-ish right. Kerrera is probably just of sight to the left. There, that's a good hint - have your charts handy? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This is looking more to the southeast;

No habitation, although, above, there are the remains of the walls of what would probably have been a small black house or bothy. So where were we?

 

[TLOM]

Looks like Garvellachs and Scarba in the distance?? That would put you somewhere along the Ross of Mull

Getting warmer....

The Garvellachs and Scarba are in the distance. So where were we?

Re: Getting warmer....

Superb weather you had, have not been out there by boat so I do not know where the anchorages are there however is it near Frank Lockwoods island?

Someone else with charts will no doubt have the answer - stuck in the office but will be looking tonight - it looks a beautiful place

What's going on here? Have you sent Mrs. Sgeir to get you a paper or something?
She's going to be a while, I think.

Starting to get hot.....

So close, oh, so close.... You might find it here. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Starting to get hot.....

Never been there but it must be the little bay north of Rubha nam Fear. Maybe.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I have no idea where it is.... but I do know that I'd very much like to be there..... it looks like a stunning anchorage....

 

[Sgeir]

Burning...........

Excellent efforts by Damo and tom26, but Silkie moved in for the winning shot. Yes, "the little bay north of Rubha nam Fear", Port Ohirnie (Port Odhar) on the SSE side of the Isle of Mull. Seems to be rather better sheltered than its open aspect might suggest.

Very attractive spot - more here.

Is the pub cunningly concealed then?
