We saw quite a few Skuas. Now and again one would come to check us out, circling before landing.
The weather being a lot calmer we enjoyed caves, stacks and rock hopping along the coast to Rubha Reid.

In one and out the other.
A couple of seals greeted us at Longa Island where we were hoping to camp.
But it wasn't suitable.
Crossing Loch Gairloch we came across a Basking Shark.
Skye in the background.
Heading on to Red Point and two potential camping spots.
The first opportunity looked promising but wasn't suitable.
Thankfully the second spot was good.
