Small Isles

Rajesh Burgul

150 NM trip beyond Ardnamurchan point, round the small isles and back. Managed to leave Dunstaffnage 5pm and overnight in Lochaline. So on Sunday rounded Ardnamurchan point and had lunch in Sanna bay. Windy with 1m swell but exciting. The southerly continued strong so we went right round and down to Singing sands to shelter overnight. Wonderful beaches and quiet night in anchor. Amazing trip then round Eigg, Rum, Canna, Muck and back via Tobermory. Saw 30kt winds, thick fog, sunshine, minke whales, Puffins and seals. Learnt to be better with radar through necessity! Got back safe with a great sense of achievement as we’d been anxious about being the other side of Ardnamurchan.
