Lunga to Ulva (via a waterfall anchorage)

Pippa Shaw

Set off a little earlier than we planned as the swell in our anchorage at Ulva picked up in the morning and caused a pretty restless sleep. Despite the swell, the anchor lifted easily, and Opie and I were able to get an extra couple of hours while David enjoyed a morning of close-hauled tacking around the stunning stone islands. Our next destination will be Ulva, with a walkashore pontoon which will allow Opie to stretch his legs after a week or so at anchor! We can't get in until later this afternoon, so the plan was to anchor by the entrance... but as we approached, we spotted a stunning and massive waterfall, so we quickly changed direction, deciding this would be a much nicer spot to wait out the tide - we may even head ashore and try to shower under the waterfall if it's not too cold! 🤞 When it comes to sailing, those of us who spend much time on the water know that even the best laid plans shouldn't be set in stone. And that sometimes the wind, water, and weather don't align to enable you to do the things you wanted. But while changing plans can be disappointing, today's lesson is to remember that you can also change your plans for beauty or joy. For example, changing our course to anchor by a waterfall. Don't forget to seek joy, you never know where the next stop will find you, or what wonderful things you'll uncover when you allow yourself to be flexible ✨️
