Carrot Cake back on the Table!


Today's Whalewatch Explorer ventured north to Muck and sampled the
delicious fayre of " The Isle of Muck Tearoom". Anyone who has landed on
Muck before knows they make the heartiest soups and the best carrot cake
this side of Oban!

The whales were in hiding, but 2 common dolphins surprised us with a visit
as we headed back towards Tobermory Bay. Seeing a pair commons so far
inshore is unusual, but a there has been a pair resident in Loch Carron
(near Skye) all winter, maybe these are the same animals wanting a change of
scenery? All we knew was it was a very welcome sighting after a days
searching. 

Also seen today were Porpoise, Seals, Puffins, Great Skua, Shearwaters,
and many more.
