Just as we were thinking we might be in for another night time epic, the broad sweep of golden sand at the head of Kiloran Bay hove into sight.
In the distance, the peaks of Jura could be seen above the low isthmus, which nearly bisects northern Colonsay.
We found a cove near the main bay to make our landfall.
The sands of Kiloran Bay stretched away for over a kilometer. There was not a soul in sight.
