Day two, the team were keen to improve on yesterdays poor sightings total. Fuelled by alpen and toast we set out to explore the various Sounds on the way to our mooring point at Tayvallich. Soon it was clear the weather was not going to be favourable to marine mammal observation or people’s stomachs. With watches being cancelled on numerous occasions due to some fairly big rolling waves and howling gales. Dave’s bacon and egg rolls mid-morning were enjoyed with a healthy helping of salt served by the sea. With no improvement in the weather, sightings were non-existent and any marine activity was monitored by the hydrophone. The day finished early with the promise of going to a pub and some showers. Kim was banished to the crows nest for a while whilst lasagne was cooked by chef’s Sam, Ester and Clare.
