Day 3, Into the Summer Isles

A beautiful morning as we headed up into the Summer isles.



The first isle, Carn nan Sgeir, was a pleasant surprise.



The water was crystal clear between Horse Island and Meall nan Gabhar.


Onwards to Tanera Mor looking for a lunch stop.



We'd spotted an opportunity on the map to top up our water supplies. On arrival at the beach we were greeted by a construction worker who related that the facilities were closed due to building works but we could refill from a tap.


Fish farm between Tanera Mor and Tanera Beg.


A small sandy beach for lunch on Eilean Fada Mor. Sandy beaches like this are few and far between in the Summer Isles.



To Glas-leach Mor.


And Eilean Mullagrach.



Then Isle Ristol.
