Yesterday we rounded the feared Ardamurchan Point, in blissfully calm seas. We had lunch drifting up and down beside a little island where the sand eels (and hence fish) apparently flourished. We put out our mackerel line, with its newly acquired mackerel lures and waited hopefully, salivating at the thought of barbequed mackerel for supper......
Final score: Fish 2,Tom and Anne nil. We continued on our way, fish-less, leaving one fishhook embedded in a lobsterpot rope, another in the seaweed.
We camped on the headland a little futher round the coast, where we got a tantalising view of all the small Isles: Eigg, Muck, Rum Canna and Skye. While we had our (fishless) supper, a basking shark and a minke whale fed in the calm waters below.
