We woke on Cara to the rumble of the heavy diesel engine of this work boat. it was a grey cold day and...
...we put warm thermals and cags on.
Ceanothus UL72 from Oban set off out through the Sound of Cara as did...
...we as we were going to paddle clockwise round Gigha.
It did not take long to approach
Slocan Leim at the south end of Gigha, beyond which...
...we entered
Grob Bagh where for a moment we thought that...
...the sun might break through the clouds but it did not quite manage,
In Grob Bagh there is a striking quartzite dyke called
Rubha Ban which extends well into the bay.
The Gigha community wind farm had a fourth and larger wind turbine added in 2014.
From Grob Bagh we paddled north through...
...the Gigha skerries until...
...we entered Poll Mor.
Ahead heads of various sizes appeared in the pool.
We saw several otters and seals and curiously...
...they seemed to be quite oblivious to each other and indeed...
...to us. Sammy the otter was quite happy munching crabs on his back before...
...diving down for some more.
