Alasdair was excellent and informed us of his plans and why. We had a bit of a blow on the second and third days. Shelter was planned and then he made a long day to the Shiants which were wonderful. I felt Perry had put a lot of thought into his meals. too much food but not a lot of waste. All 4 crew were excellent. Hannah's enthusiasm and knowledge, Craig's diligence and constant work were great. This cruise was great because the Crewe and passengers all got on well in a gentle manner. The Crewe commented on this. Everyone was interested in the wildlife and I come from Skye so I loved looking at the islands from a different perspective.

Even though we had bad weather for the first couple of days we had exceptional care from the whole crew. Our skipper Jake found sheltered anchorages for overnight stops and got us safely ashore for walks every day. Our wildlife guide Lauren was brilliant at spotting all the wildlife we saw, including white tailed eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a minke whale, but best of all she found us an otter! We were very well fed by Emma, who produced some lovely meals which must always be a challenge on a small ship. Last but by no means least Jasmin took very good care of us, with nothing being too much trouble. All in all It was a fantastic trip with a great group of fellow cruisers who were so much fun to be with, only 11 months until the next one!
