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.
