2024 Outer Hebrides – Fuzzy Water
Day 08 Friday 23rd Aug – Loch Eupoirt by Dave Brown

We found a nice get-in-point close to the water at a place called Saighinis this was or is a small fishing cove used by 1 -2 boats with lobster pots on the side as we dodged these to take off the sea kayaks from the cars and van or was that just me !!!!.

Paddling day 4 23 Aug 11km

Once we were on the water all was good and started paddling you could see people starting to relax once in their boats as we paddled along looking at the rocks for Otters and other moving things, we came upon a very big stone house with lots of glass all around, it just looked out of place but I would have moved in at a moment’s notice.

We passed a small Island of Steisaign, then came to a narrow gap of about 50 meters wide looking at this more closely, eddy’s were on both sides great break-out practice and ferry gliding.

After we all broke out on the left, we had a chat and decided to have a play – lots of fun was had at this point crossing the flow from both sides and then we all paddled back up the side eddy just to go back down through the swirly bits and big boils in the lower part of the eddy.

After this, we headed down to Loch Langais looking for 11’s or even Lunch !!!,, At the end of the Loch, we had a big debate on where to go, the beach or the old boat house. The boathouse gave us more options.

After lunch, we all headed up to the Stones Circle, which was called Pobull Fhinn. This translates to “Finns people”, (got that off the website so must be true). There were some stones still standing and some having a lie down  – I don’t blame them after all that time!
