West Coast Sailing

[rpn]

Earlier this year in April/May a group of us from the office chartered a yacht to go sailing in the West Coast around the Isle of Skye. The places we visited are Isle of Skye, Isle of Muck, Oronsay, Tobermory, Camas a Lighe, Kentra Bay, Loch Moidart and Arisaig.

Here are some photos from the trip, enjoy!
