At the end of April, a band of merry sailors left Lochcarron for a weekend adventure sailing past Plockton, around Raasay to Skye and back home via Applecross. The weather was kind and the winds were steady. They spotted porpoise and otters in the Loch and further out, sailed alongside kittiwakes, puffins, skua and a wide variety of other sea birds. At night the waters glowed bright with plankton as they enjoyed peaceful waters. Is there a more beautiful country to visit? I’m not sure there is.
