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 in readiness of a Pacific crossing in 2024.
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.
