I didn’t fancy the planned anchorage at Ensay so ended up at loch na Huide (auto corrected to Huddersfield, glad to have noticed), Taransay and its a cracker… and with sun!!St Kilda probably tomorrow.

| Threading through the islets and rocks from the Cope passage to the Stanton passage was interesting, I initially went to an anchorage off Ensay but decided it was not for me and went on to an excellent anchorage in Loch Na Huidhe, Taransay. |

| A more detailed view, interesting but straight forward pilotage in benign conditions. |

| I could have done without the ferry which will leave this stbd Lateral (NW Rodel Rks) close to starboard, there was a safe place to wait to the east so I let the ferry past here rather than having problems in the narrow entrance into the Stanton Channel at Grocis Sgeir. |
