Porpoise spotters (from left top clockwise) - Jenny, Barb, Denys, Kym & Elsa

Position at Anchor Back in Tobermory!
Distance traveled 15 NM
Weather Showers

Final day – sad. We woke up to a calm morning in Loch Sunart, and set off further down the loch with its stunning panoramas. Within the first hour Kym had spotted around 9 porpoises! One group powering out of the water full tiny bodies in view (I’m rather partial to porpoises – so cute!). We traveled up to Salen before heading back into the rain showers and back to Tobermory. Now we’re sitting basking in the mild sunshine waiting for the left-over lasagna to re-heat for lunch before giving the whole boat a top-to-toe clean. This evening everyone will be celebrating the last night down in the local hostelries probably, however sadly I have to head off home this afternoon. So… again sad it’s the end of the trip & again BIG THANK YOU to the volunteers for a great trip – cheery spirits despite the small number of animals… and some deeeelicious food! Oh, and have to mention Barb – who was like santa claus during the trip – bringing out colourful ‘lucky dolphin’ necklaces for us all a few days into the trip, and soft cuddly green, orange and purple dolphins for luck yesterday. I will be taking him on all my trips for luck!

Now… back to that lasagna
