With the Sound like a millpond and only the faintest touch of a breeze from the southwest, we set out in our kayaks along the coast to the west of Kilchoan. As we progressed along the shoreline below Dubh Creag a rolling sea mist, or haar, began to form across the surface of the Sound, rolling in towards the Ardnamurchan shore. It's an eerie sight, filled as it is with the mournful sound of foghorns from passing ships.
On our way back, as we approached Sron Bheag, we met another group of kayakers, members of the Scottish Kayaking Association, website here, from the Inverness branch. Having launched at Strontian, they had spent the night just to the east of Kilchoan and hoped to make Arisaig this evening.
