This was an expedition to Inchkeith Island in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh by Norrie Stewart GM1CNH and Rob Hemesley MM1RAH plus the “skipper” of the boat. It was made in preparation for a trip to St Kilda. Norrie operated VHF and Rob was on HF. Mni tnx to Norrie for sharing these photos.
(Map added by webmaster – Inchkeith is a small island in the middle of the Firth of Forth to the north of Edinburgh).
