Description by the author

Follow the Blue Trail description to Bank House on Whiddy Island and continue north to where the crossing point is marked by an orange buoy and flag where a wind flag will indicate local wind conditions.This is a 2 km long (45 minute) open water crossing which requires experience to successfully complete. Beware of winds and tidal flows at the crossing. Cross between Horse Island and Chapel Island flanked by mussel farm buoys to the green channel marker. From the green channel marker head for the Blueway flag on Reenbeg Point. Then cross the small bay south to reach Railway Pier and on to Abbey Slipway.
