In this episode, we leave the charming town of Lerwick on Shetland and after an overnight stop in the anchorage of Channer Wick we continue our journey to the enchanting Fair Isle. This mystical island is situated right between Shetland and the Orkney Islands. A tiny piece of rocky land, blessed with awe-inspiring natural beauty and teeming wildlife, awaits our exploration.
Fair Isle is a paradise for bird watchers and a welcome stop for passing sailing boats on their ways to Shetland or to the Orkney Islands. With only 50 permanent residents, this remote island is home to a close-knit community that cherishes the serenity of this unique corner of the world.
Our adventure begins with a thrilling hike across Fair Isle's rugged terrain. The island's natural beauty is a testament to the power of Mother Nature, and every step we take reveals a new wonder. From towering cliffs to lush meadows, we can't help but be captivated by the breath-taking landscapes that surround us.
One of the highlights of our tour is a visit to the island's only manufacturer of traditional Fair Isle knitwear. The Fair Isle knitting tradition is famous worldwide for its intricate patterns and exceptional craftsmanship. We get a first-hand look at the creative process behind these timeless garments. A big shout out to Marie at fairislewithmarie.com for showing us her beautiful craft!
Kathrin takes a plunge into the crystal-clear waters of Fair Isle's natural harbour. It's an experience close to the edge of her comfort zone as she shares the waters with the harbour’s curious resident grey seal.
Fair Isle is not just a sanctuary for wildlife and nature enthusiasts; it's also a haven for fellow sailors who seek tranquillity and solitude. We connect with like-minded seafarers who appreciate the serenity and untouched beauty of this island. Sharing stories and experiences with these lovely people makes our adventure even more memorable.
As the evening falls over Fair Isle, we reflect on our unforgettable journey. The natural wonders, the warm-hearted people, and the unique experiences have left an indelible mark on our hearts. Fair Isle has shown us that in the midst of the wild, there is a place of quiet beauty, where nature and humanity coexist harmoniously.
