Isle of Canna and on to Kilchoan

Arrived at the beautiful bay on Canna that was our home for a brief time. It is a wildlife reservation home to porpoises, seals and all kinds of birds including this adorable family of 9.

 We booked a meal at the Canna cafĂ© and couldn't resist taking yet another photo of Bittersharp.
 The fading light was incredible and the water like a mirror reflecting everything.

 We were sad to leave this gorgeous island but as a bonus,  we were joined for a short time by a frisky friend.  A juvenile Bottlenose dolphin. The water was incredibly clear and so still that we could see him under the sea and through the trampolines. Long after all his buddies left us, he carried on playing with the bow and showing off. He seemed to be smiling and happy.
 








 Arrived at Kilchoan and used one of the 4 mooring buoys. The one next to us was already taken. He kept a look out for us.

 Ardnamurchan Point is the most westerly point of the mainland. It is a 6 mile walk from where we are moored tonight.
