Plockton-Crowlin Is.-Portree-Raasay

Gentle winds - mostly- mean it's been comfortable to visit less usual anchorages. The first was in a cleft between two of the Crowlin Islands. Reaching the inner pool is like "threading a needle" and lack of swinging space meant a rather sleepless night!

Next day, over to Portree on Skye, for hurried shopping before French cruise ship passengers (higher priority than 'Misty' and me!) wanted to use the pontoon, and I was turfed off!.
Never mind, there are lots of beautiful peaceful anchorages nearby, and I ended up in a little cove at the northern end of Raasay. The island next to it had no sheep, so wild flowers and long lush grass made a magical change from the bracken and heather that is the dominant flora of sheep-scoured islands. |

Next, on north to Loch Ewe to anchor next to famous Inverewe Gardens and meet two sons for the next bit.
