Morar Bay is famous for its dazzling silvery white sands but it was a rather grey...
...day and, together with noise from the road, the train, a chain saw and...
...even a passing Hercules, I was concerned that Ian and Mike might not get the best impression of this beautiful spot.
So as we passed
one of the stunning beaches on its north shore I described to them what it was like when the sun shone. This was on a previous trip and I enjoyed wonderful views to the Small Isles of Eigg and Rum (Canna is just visible to the left of Eigg) across the dazzling sands and turquoise water.
As the current carried us down between the sand banks the sounds of civilisation faded away leaving only the calls of the many wading birds. The mournful call of the curlew contrasted with the pip of the oystercatchers.
The ebb was running strongly at the
shallow bar across the mouth of the bay where it met the incoming wind it created some standing waves. Normally at this point you would be captivated by the outline of Eigg on the horizon (just visible through the mist) but this time we concentrated on...
...having fun in the small waves. We certainly got our faces wet on Morar bar.
