Monday 25 June 2012 – Loch Maddy to Soay

Filled up with water at the ferry pier and headed off towards Skye without much hope of going far without a lot of motoring.  However the wind was fair and with the cruising chute up we just made enough speed.  The cloud slowly lifted and eventually the sun came out.  Eventually we started the engine near Loch Brittle and motored to Soay.  Were met by dolphins in Soay Sound; they stayed with us for 10 minutes and we took a lot of poor photos  I had earlier had a glimpse of a Minke whale after hearing it blow.

Tomorrow we hope to go to Loch Scavaig which gives a good view of the Black Cuillin.
