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.
Hi Emma - I just wanted to thank you and all your crew members for giving me the most incredible experience ever over the past few days. It is difficult to encapsulate it all in words ! From the minute we stepped on board the Lucy Mary we were treated like royalty. Abbie was amazing, discrete professional and easy to talk to. James, well his knowledge and expertise incredible. It was just lovely to sit around the table and hear everyone's stories and experiences in life and I will treasure the memories. You have a real gem in Sammy the chef . The food was out of this world! Just exquisite! Indys knowledge on wildlife and how he could identify everything was amazing. His love for wildlife shone! Will a steady guy just making sure everything was as it should be - incredible. So many highlights and laughs and just sheer joy to the soul. It was good to meet you and thank you for all the information you sent prior to boarding as it was all helpful. Very very special time. Thank you all.
