Big skies in the Solway.

 As I paddled south out of Fleet Bay, Ardwall Isle and...

 ...Murray's Isles lay under an amazing skyscape of clouds.

 The combination of sun, wind and a lively sea...

 ...made for some amazing rockhopping on the outer reefs.

I was on my own with not another boat insight as I rounded the southernmost reef of Barlocco Isle and...

...hoisted my sail to make my way north again in more sheltered waters.
