With the Skipper on his own, the Marilyn theme and the fine weather
continued with short trips to Inverie (photo) and Loch Hourn to climb Druim
na Cluain-Airighe c500m and Beinn Mhialairigh 548m respectively. Back at
Arisaig, on the return aboard of the Mate, a shopping expedition to Fort
William saw stores replenished ready for the arrival of Fan and James for
the next sortie. Before their arrival we enjoyed a bright, still evening -
with Arisaig and views west to Eigg and Rum at their best. We left for
Canna, planning to cross over the Sea of the Hebrides the next day to Barra,
then gradually working our way north up the Outer Hebrides.
