Ian and I paddled round
Eilean Dubh in Kentra Bay. This small isle is split by...
...numerous channels through which....
...the strengthening ebb tide propelled us steadily...
...past the birchwoods at the narrow entrance and...
towards the open sea.
We paddled north towards the vegetation capped
Sgeir an Eididh, which in Gaelic means clothed reef. In the distance beyond the dark outline of Eigg, the Rum Cuillin were capped in snow.
We had now left the birch woods of Ardtoe behind and were paddling along the barren rocky peninsula of Rubha na Caillich in Moidart...Point of the Old Woman.
Our peaceful reverie was shattered by the sudden surfacing of our old friend Sammy the Otter who seemed...
...quite unconcerned by our presence.
