Braighe to Shulishader via Garrabost Swim - 09.09.2025

Thanks to Kellie for dropping me off at the Braighe on her way to work this morning, so I could swim back home.
The seals came out from the shore near Stac Mòr Gharraboist with 4 of them swimming around me and 2 swam underneath me (it was a great experience) as I continued onwards towards the headland.
I couldn't get through the Garrabost hole as the tide was too high but it was low enough for me to swim through the arch and between the small sea stacks before I stopped off at the slipway for a quick refuel of jelly babies and a swig of juice. I gave a wave to a seal that possibly followed me from the Stac as it disappeared.
Continuing on towards Shulishader, I'm pretty sure I saw an Eagle perched on one of the headlands, flying off when it noticed me swimming along. Plenty of little fish darting about as well as interesting rock formations too. I came into the bay at Geodha nan Eathraichean (Boats' Gully) where my swim for the day ended, followed by a walk up the 88 steps and a walk back home.
