Back in picturesque Plockton! (see photo)

Sheltering from rough weather again after a bumpy ride this morning from Portree on Skye, despite which we saw common dolphins again! Yesterday was a very mixed day of showers, wind, sun, calm sea, rough sea, harbour porpoises, seals, minke whales (two sightings) and common dolphins – 7 or 8 came to bow ride with us as we came into Portree harbour, a perfect end to the day.

As you can see Elke briefly stepped into the skipper’s shoes this morning and gave us a little impromptu chart chat!
