A rather damp and misty June morning on the west coast of Islay, out for a walk on Kilchoman beach. The wreck of the Patti sticking out of the sand, also Coull Farm just visible in the distance.

A slightly different view of the wreck of the Patti on Kilchoman beach, here with the waves washing over it seen from in the water. The crags with the old radar station at Kilchiaran in the background.

A picture courtesy of my sister Imke, as it’s rather difficult to take a picture of yourself when going for a swim. That’s me going for a short wild swim in shallow waters at the southern end of Kilchoman beach in Machir Bay. As there can be dangerous currents in Machir Bay I made sure I stayed close to the shore and was always able to stand. Still had a lot of fun splashing through the waves in the surf coming in from the Atlantic.
