The 2011 SLS Team



Our first whale watch is only 6-weeks away, how did that happen?!

Boat preparations are well underway with Sula Beag getting a thorough repaint, from keel to mast.



We are also putting together some ideas for our visitor centre in Tobermory, with some great news, Lydia is returning as our Centre Manager this season, some of you may remember her from her first season in 2009, an unforgettable enthusiastic girl who will bring a smile to everyones face on arrival at the centre! She has been travelling and working down south for a short while, great to have her back aboard!

We also have our head guide of now two seasons returning for her third, Ruth, I am sure some of you will remember her for her knowledge and passion for the beasties we find out here, as well as brilliant leadership with the rest of the team.

Also Ewan who worked with us for a few months in the 2010 season will return as a full time guide, their are not many folk on the plannet with as much enthusiasm towards birds, if your keen, he's your man!

We will continue to work on the boats until they launch at the end of March, a superb place to work on Kerrara, near Oban, where they are based, we take a small ferry across there each day to work, not a bad life up here on Mull
