We set off early this morning to catch the Ferry to Barra from Eriskay which involved a drive through North Uist, Grimsay, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay, Barra, and Vatersay. A wonderful day with ferries on time and the weather almost perfect except for our 3 mile walk on Vatersay when we all got soaked during a short but very heavy shower of rain and no cover anywhere. This is on the Ferry to Barra which took 45 minutes and was very calm seas.
Our Ferry to Barra with only 10 cars on board.
One of the main beaches on Vatersay. This area is like a Tombola with a beach on either side of this narrow isthmus of sand.
This is the beach at Eriskay next to the Ferry Terminal.
The bay next to Barra Airport with the colour of the sea just magnificent.
This is the other beach on Vatersay. John and I walked on this one that had big breakers coming in from the Atlantic while Gaye and Sandria walked on the more sheltered beach. We all ended up soaked from the heavy rain shower.
On Vatersay there was a field full of Primroses
