Z04: Sailing holidays Orkney islands & Outer Hebrides
From the Orkney Islands we sail along the beautiful north coast of Scotland to the “Outer Hebrides”. A desolate and remote sailing area with somewhat longer days of sailing. The wind will determine our exact destinations. We also sail around the North West point of Scotland, Cape Wrath, a milestone this sailing holiday.
Strong tidal currents, wind and ocean swell may provide a challenging conditions. In short, an excellent voyage for the true sailor. There are not many harbours, so we will also anchor, for example in Loch Eribol, the deepest sea loch of Scotland and used in WWII as the basis for Atlantic convoys.
This sailing vacation ends in beautiful and cozy Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.
The daily sailing distances are between 25 and 45 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.
