Description:
It's just possible to make out the three Calf islands on Google Earth.
They're all low-lying, with sand/shingle beaches but no trees or water. There's a stagnant pond on Middle Calf that must have once provided water for the group of houses here. They were lived in up til 1954.
I once saw a man in a small boat towing a line of cows to leave them graze for the summer. I have used dried cow-pats to build a big fire on the beach. Stiff and light, like big deep-dish pizzas, they burned beautifully with a clear flame, little smoke and no smell. Usually my first concern, after settling on a beach camp, is to head off again and load the back deck with driftwood. It might mean scavenging all the beaches and coves on a small island to make enough to last the night.
