To-day was one of those grey days where everything you wanted to do was not going to happen (outside). The day started grey and overcast, the midgies were on fire, then it started raining. Nothing for it after the first soaking but go indoors.

Then a text from Ewen on MV Seaflower to tell us that there was a couple of killer whales outside the harbour (Somewhere). Nothing for it but to drop everything, gather up Rona folk and head out into the Sound of Raasay to see if we could hook up with them.

Bryn (the spotter) saw a RIB stationary and two fins sticking out of the water just North of them. We headed for them and spent some time watching two killer whales lazily swimming around. A shout went up and a Humpback whale was spotted further North. The Killer Whales had disappeared so we headed North and the Humpback was very accommodating coming very close to the Rib and MV Rona, a truly magical experience for all on board.
