Westray

You'll sail out of Kirkwall harbour, passing by the 'String' between the mainland and Shapinsay and from there up Shapinsay's west coast. You'll pass the Galt buoy on the east side and the hump-backed island of Gairsay on the west. After Gairsay you'll see the low-lying islands of Wyre and Egilsay in the foreground under Rousay's towering hills.

To the east you'll pass Muckle and Little Green Holm, just before the Falls of Warness, where some of Orkney's strongest tides flow. You'll come up the west side of Eday, passing Rusk Holm on the west side followed by Faray and the Holm of Faray to the east, before arriving into Rapness Sound.
