Lovely story. I've probably motored past this little islet many times in a larger cruising boat, never suspecting the secret world you described.

I had to Google Earth Reay Island, as you so well discribe it in your article! The love of a "place" is difficult to express but you show it well through these words! I'm glad to hear Reay is being preserved for future explorers in small boats! So many public spaces are being "taken"! I saw the gravel beaches, green space on her plateau and the sharp spires guarding the harbor! It all shows well with todays satalite imaging! The logs washed up on the south beach, hint the wind could make it a rough anchorage, but then Reay has the north side too, Ideal!!! If the wind is not cooperating it is not tragic to change places, beautiful! Thanks for taking us to this gem! BestRoy
