The Madonna waved goodbye, the weather was much improved.

Some large goats were clambering on the rocks.

Lion's mane jellyfish were abundant.

We came across some seabirds flying superbly just above the water.

A raft of Manx Shearwaters, we stopped and they didn't seem to mind our presence. Occasionally they would set off to fly a circuit then return; it was a timeless moment.

Rum looked majestic.

After paddling due south we reached the Arisaig skerries.

Eigg and Rum.

Looking for a lunch spot with some shelter from the westerly wind.

Maerl amongst the shells ?

Dropping south out of the skerries and rounding the headland it was time to find a camping spot.

Not long after landing a group of kayakers arrived but there was plenty of room on the main beach for them.

A superb evening.
