We had a mixed bag of weather this month, but enjoyed some very happy sailing and lots of opportunities to get up close and personal with some our local Scottish wildlife. Basking sharks were spotted at the entrance to Gometra Harbour and a walk ashore rewarded us with sightings of both golden and sea eagles. From the same anchorage we had a birds eye view of the wild goats grazing on the Ulva slopes.
On a calm evening, as we entered Loch Spelve, we were lucky enough to see otters frolicking on the shores.
A pair of dolphins enjoyed riding our bow-wave as we ran with the tide down the Sound of Islay.
