2024 Outer Hebrides – Fuzzy Water

Day 07 Thursday 22nd Aug – Grimsay Harbour and Ronay by Catriona Hare

Surprise. surprise another windy day, which required careful planning to identify a safe paddling time and location This time the weather window was late afternoon and we returned to Grimsay where we had been on a tour of boat museums a couple of days earlier. We started from a scallop processing plant, where their shell disposal was forming a raised beach.

Not far from the start we encountered our first tidal stream of the week, and we had fun breaking in and out of the flow between Grimsay and Garbh Eilean, before turning the corner and heading through the narrow entrance to the natural harbour at Bagh Mor.

In the shelter of the bay, you could see why this area had been used as a harbour and had an historic pier.
