A murky start and a large fish farm.
The paddle back to Loch Gairloch was becoming a drag until someone shouted 'fin'. There was a flock of Gannets coming our way, and we soon saw Dolphins. The gannets were occasionally diving into the sea. As the activity died away and I turned back towards the northern shore a Minke whale surfaced about 50 metres away.
