This was the view we woke to the morning after the amazing sunset.
I could not resist going in for an early morning swim. At 11C the sea temperature was warmer than the air temperature at only 7C.
We wrapped up warmly in Buffalo jackets as there was a cool easterly breeze. However, there are few locations that can match this for a view over breakfast.
The wind was forecast to get up to 5-7 easterly which is why we had left our shuttle car at Samalaman rather than further east, at the head of Loch Ailort, as we had done the last time we had done this trip. This meant we did not have far to go but even so, we decided to start packing the boats early.
We were in no particular hurry though as...
...we wanted to savour these wonderful surroundings for as long as possible. Our fire had burned away to just a few ashes, which we scattered in the sands then...
...after a last check that we had left the machair pristine, we...
...left Port Achadh an Aonaich, the port of the field of the steep place, to...
...the local inhabitants.
