Festive Adventures

Well here we are approaching Christmas and still enjoying cruises for small numbers. We will continue them over the winter period. Yes it is cold, but once climbed into one of the onboard thermal suits, had a coffee (I think it by far the best coffee on Mull) had a wee dram and some shortbread then – ‘bring it on!’

We are blessed by being able to operate in sheltered waters whatever the wind is throwing at us. The whole environment out there is just so magical, even at this time of year.

Last cruise we saw two family groups of porpoise with their very young calves. We drifted by them and they actually came so close to the boat we could actually see them underwater scooting around like demented beings – teaching their calves to hunt?

Time to take in the magnificent scenery. Whether it be the Ardnamurchan peninsula with the series of volcanoes that blew up into one huge super volcano or Ardmore point with it’s lighthouse and swooping above can be seen the sea and golden eagles. Glengorm castle standing proudly on the skyline. There is still the odd guillemot and razorbill fishing away. Then of course all the usual gulls, including the lovely kittiwakes. Bloody bay yields the interesting fish farm and this is the area where the bottlenose dolphins sometimes appear. Finally, the seals sunbathing/rainbathing! on Calve island.

It is magic out there, and there is always the unexpected as well as the good company just relaxing and enjoying.

Look forward to seeing you and showing you...
