It had been an amazing week with not a drop of rain. Getting to the special places that we visited is what makes a holiday with Hebrides Cruises unique. My thanks to my sailing companions and fellow adventurers, to skipper Rob, mate Craig and cook Mags who were all magnificent, and Emma on shore.

An amazing experience - the scenery is spectacular, the wildlife we saw was incredible, hundreds of sea birds on the cliffs & the sea plus a feeding frenzy of 3 minke whales and dolphins plus a basking shark. What made this even more special was Elizabeth G and her crew. We couldn't have been more spoilt!! Amazing food prepared by Sally in the tiny galley could have graced any high end restaurant. Craig, our steward ensured everyones glass or mug was never empty and ensured we all got ashore safely. Rob, our skipper made sure we avoided the worst swells & always found a flat calm anchorage for our nights in some amazing out of the way bays. Katy, our on board cetacean expert was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a really good communicator. We expected this cruise to be good but it surpassed our expectations. Many thanks to all who made it happen.
