Between Isle Ristol and the mainland.


To the west of Tanera Beg.


Stac Mhic Aonghais (picture courtesy Chris).


Flat calm - getting the forecast.



To Eilean Dubh for a pleasant morning break.


Carn Lar and Carn Deas.


An intricate cave on Carn Lar.


There were jellyfish everywhere; mainly moon jellyfish but also Lion's Mane.


Fisheries protection vessel.


To Priest Island for lunch and a chance to air overheated bodies and damp clothing. In hindsight a bad beach to stop at. As the tide ebbed, slippery boulders were exposed making for a tricky launch. Many of the beaches we encountered were boulder beaches.



After crossing back to the mainland we ended the day back at Slaggan Bay.
