Solitude

There are several quiet anchorages beyond Hog Island.  These are much less traveled and very secluded, so if being totally by yourself is what you are looking for, this is it.  There are few facilities and services, so you’re really on your own.  This is not a beach destination.

Clarkes Court Bay is just to the east of the Hog Island anchorage.  It can be unprotected from the strong gusts of wind that whip up over the surrounding hills, depending on where you are anchored.   This is a large bay, so it is possible to be far away from everybody else.  The village of Woburn is at the head of the bay, and Nimrods store provides basic essentials.  The Little Dipper Restaurant is also located up the hill from the dinghy dock at Woburn.

Other secluded anchorages include Calvigney Island, Port Edgemont, Calvigney Harbor, and Westerhall Point.  I did not have the opportunity to visit any of them, so cannot comment on them personally.  They are described in the Doyle Guide, and based on the surrounding landscape, I would believe them to be very quiet and secluded.  A few days in each would be the proper prescription for those really wanting to get away from it all.
