Entering a small sheltered bay we were
ready leave our fresh water paradise and
after a kilometre on foot and some great
teamwork we arrive in a sea loch.
Soaking in the grandeur of being
surrounded by mountains with eagles
soaring overhead we launch again with a
new sense of adventure. ’Lifted on the
tide, we floated ever deeper into the
wilderness that waited out arrival.
Setting camp early afternoon allowed us
to relax, air our kit and explore the coast.
We swim and get totally lost in the
beauty that surrounds us broken only
occasionally by someone pointing out a
porpoise cruising past or an eagle
soaring overhead. Preparing a fresh
starter is easy when you have picked the
freshest mussels, chopped the garlic and
added white wine. Accompanied with
freshly baked bread, a true wild feast is
enjoyed by all! ’The crackle of the sea
soaked logs, laughter and a dram drifted
into the evening air as we were treated
to a fine sunset and moonrise.
Distant ocean
As we slid onto the water, with our
boards creating small ripples on the
glassy loch we are again lifted out to the
distant ocean, standing, gliding silently,
with the clouds covering the Munros
landing like linen as they draped over
and slid down to the distant shoreline.
Never work with children or animals they
say? Watching the shoreline and the
small islands knowing all along that
