Day 17 - Hunting the wind - Fladda, The Garvellachs, The Black Isles, Cuan Sound and Torsa.

Today's itinerary
One again it's "Scot d'Azure"! Enough breeze to keep the midges at bay but not enough to propel a boat. Lunch time we anchored in the smallest bay Soleis has ever anchored between Eilean Dubh Mor and Eilean Dubh Beag, commonly called the Black Isles.
On the Garvellachs we saw the beehive buildings left by early christians from St Columba's era.
On the north end of Shuna is an impressive ruin called Shuna House with trees growing out from the turrets.
