After the exertion and sweating of manhandling loaded boats to the low tide mark in the heat of the day, it was a blessed relief to be on the cool water again as we rounded the
SW corner of Eileach an Naoimh.
Our destination was
Loch Buie in Mull, some 16km away across the Firth of Lorn. The first time I did this crossing was
in the dark in the middle of February, so it made a very pleasant change to repeat it at the height of a midsummer day!
As we paddled under the small lighthouse...
...the NW coast of Eileach an Naoimh slowly revealed itself followed by...
...Garbh Eileach and soon...
...the Isles of the Sea were little more than memories in our wakes.
