We climbed the Sgurr of Eigg with Chris and Anna – I hope we did not slow them down too much. The Sgurr is the impressive ridge which forms the highest part of the island. Its characteristic shape can be seen for miles. It’s an easy climb which gives a view over the other small isles, lots of the mainland and more if the weather is really clear.
C and A then packed up their gear and departed towards the Sound of Arisaig.
I spent a while cleaning the bottom of the boat and the prop. The latter had
some crusty stuff on with a purple colour underneath. It came off with a
kitchen scourer but there was not time for a proper polish. Finishing the job
ankle deep in the incoming tide, my feet got extremely cold and took ages to
warm up afterwards – it’s still too early to start swimming from the boat!
