Sally and Simon left Scotland in 2015 on board Shimshal to begin a slow circumnavigation taking in various high latitude destinations. After 3 seasons in Greenland we sailed south to Lewisporte in northern Newfoundland. In 2019 we cruised the Canadian Maritimes. In 2022 & 23 we cruised via New England, Chesapeake, Florida, Cuba, Cayman, Providencia to Bocas del Toro. In late 2023 we transited the Panama Canal and in 2024 we sailed to French Polynesia via Galapagos.
From our boathouse to Ardinamar Bay is an easy 11km return kayak trip and from there it’s a 5km stroll to cross Luing and back with lunch at Cullipool. Today was the perfect day for it. Gentle breezes, flat seas, sunshine and in T shirts all the way. On the beach we were greeted by Luing cattle and wonderful summer flowers as well as the usual picture perfect views of the Slate Islands.
