After our rum drinking session with Alf we got up fairly early on Tuesday morning to catch the tide down Loch Duich. We anchored just across the loch from Eilean Donan castle. We relaxed (yes relaxed) and took in the view over a spot of lunch. We then headed north once again past Kyle of Lochalsh (again) and under the Skye bridge. As we passed underneath the huge concrete structure the sun decided to shine on us. We had left the grey clouds behind. It felt like a milestone on our trip - like we were entering a new world with new challenges and even greater remoteness.
Our destination was Poll Domhain, a small sheltered bay just south of Applecross. From the boat we could see two little cottages in which I had spent a couple of summer holidays - the first when I was just a year old. The sunset that evening was stunning and we even caught a rare glimpse of an otter cruising the bay.
