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.

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.
