No sooner had secured the kayaks and set off from Miavaig in Loch Roag than Gordon demonstrated the berthing accommodation for those travelling steerage class. Fortunately we had all booked berths in the Cuma's cabins!
Simon started filming the trip in the shelter of
Caolas Pabaigh but all thoughts of filming were temporarily put on hold...
...when Cuma left Loch Roag and hit the swell off the arch at
Eala Sheadha.
Once round
Gallan Head, the swell was coming from the beam of the Cuma and several of our party needed to lie down until they got their sea legs.
The rock architecture at this western limit of the great Eurasian continent was stunning. The predominant rock in Lewis and Harris is Lewisian gneiss which at 3,000 million years old is just about the oldest rock on the planet.
