We woke to one of the sunniest and warmest mornings I have had and departed with the sun picking out the Skye bridge. While knowing we had ample clearance the Skye bridge seemed ominous close as we passed underneath it.
We passed Papay, Longay, Scalpay and the Crowlin Islands before taking the Sound of Raasay between Skye and Raasay on our way up to Portree. As we ventured north we had bright sun while to our port over Skye the clouds were massing and by the time we were approaching Portree it had started to rain and we just managed to moor on the small pontoon before the heavens opened and we had a very sharp downpour with hail.
