Found another good picture (I think) my sister Imke took when I went for some wild swimming and splashing in Machir Bay off Kilchoman beach. That’s me splashing about in the waves breaking as they approach the beach, looking far deeper than it actually was. As there can be dangerous currents I always stayed in shallow water, being able to stand if necessary.

At the southern end of Kilchoman beach during an incoming tide. A wave rolling in and breaking as it reaches the beach between rocks and cliffs. Taken after a careful swim, standing out in the waves.

Out in the waves in Machir Bay rolling out on to Kilchoman beach on the west coast of Islay. A few walkers out on their way south on the beach on the left.
