The wild weather over, we ventured out again and made for Lemervay, at
the mouth of Loch Shell, inside Eilean Iubhard where a large Norwegian
‘mother ship’ was hoovering up salmon from the fish farm. (Photo -
Shiants and Skye from Orasay, Loch Shell). Cromore, at the entrance of
Loch Erisort was our next port of call – a sheltered spot overlooked by
a few cottages and croft houses.From there it was a short hop to
Stornoway and the luxury of a pontoon berth in the inner harbour. The
excellent bus services were used for trips north to Tolsta to climb
Muirneag 248m, and west to Shawbost for Beinn Bhragair 261m. We have
decided to return home for ten days, leaving Arctica in Stornoway; our
sailing adventures will resume thereafter.
