It was really lovely to receive a postcard through the post with a poem written by our recent guests Joan and Bryan Howard
We are so pleased that Joan and Bryan enjoyed their cruise despite the severe weather disruption caused by storm Ali. We had to deploy an alternative itinerary in sheltered waters, but guests agreed that anchorages around the Sound of Mull are as beautiful as any to be found elsewhere in the Hebrides. Tobermory is a wonderful sheltered haven with lots to do and see and a land wildlife tour with Nature Scotland got rave reviews. The final evening at Loch a Choire helped to make up for the weather with a lovely sunset and scallops hand-dived in the loch by Skipper Rob.
The weather made it challenging to spot wildlife too. However, Wildlife Guide Nigel Spencer captured this excellent shot of a very young White Tailed Eagle, probably only about 4 or 5 months old, off the coast of Morvern. It had been moved on by its parents to find its own way in the world and still had to develop its distinctive white tail feathers which can take a year or more.
Lovely friendly welcome, with the quality of meals and the overall cleanliness second to none. Services of the crew and care went beyond the call of duty. It was already extra special! Caroline’s cooking was up to masterchef standard and lunches will never be the same again. Pauline’s attention to detail was brilliant and she never seemed to stop. Lynsey’s speed at recognizing the wildlife was incredible, her eyes seemed to be everywhere. Captain Chris was brilliant in all aspects and good fun with a wicked sense of humour. Dont hesitate, we had such a wonderful time on this holiday we really hope to repeat it maybe in the next few years! Love to Emma Jane and Best wishes to you all.
