My 3k post!

No idea, but thanks for posting the image. Made my night.

Do you not get a nose bleed being so high up?

Nice view, thanks.

I'd best have a guess, somewhere in the Ardnamurchan to Cape Wrath book?

EDIT: 'S funny, someone posted a picture of a dog in TOP too

Yes, this photo appeared in TOP, in the "best anchorage" post.

I don't recognise it, but suspect it's on the E side of the Western Isles, either Harris or the Uists. After a bit of squinting at such maps as I have to hand (oh what a nuisance that Shipfinder has been locked) I'll make a guess at the S inlet on Wiay looking S. (Without a chart to hand I can't tell if that inlet is navigable, so I may be entirely wrong!)

What a cracking spot.

I can't really see a good match with anywhere on the S. of Wiay though?

The bit I was thinking of is just NW of the bit called Sruth na h Amhunn on your chart. I'm guessing that the red hatched area is within the 2m contour? If so, then unless it is neaps and / or the boat has a very shallow draught (or the chart is pessimistic) then I'm completely wrong. In fact, the more I look at it the more I think I am.

I take it your chart is saved locally rather than available on line? I'm not familiar with the cartography.

After an extensive Google Earth search I reckon it's just inside the entrance to Loch Claidh on Lewis and the boat is anchored at 57.55.32N 6.35.44W approx.

I think you have it!



Cartography is Garmin Bluechart displayed on the free Garmin Homeport.
I think that the Garmin plotters themselves do a better job of displaying depths etc. but Homeport is nice enough for playing/planning at home.

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I have so far only found (here: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=64242&ra=true ) a PC download of Garmin Homeport offered at £26.99 with the note: ¹HomePort software does not include map data.
The implication seems to be that it only lets you look at cartography already bought.

Oy! You thieving wee sod!!

Well done on trakcing down the location though.
Here's another.

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking of 'Basecamp' for Garmin's land maps which is near identical and is a free download.

Serves you right for being so mysterious about it.
