Early start to-day, away in the dark to Portree. Loading up at 7am, away not long after, stopped on route to chat with the crew on S D Mars, looked like a good shift for them to me. They were telling me of hundreds of dolphins and shoals of Makerel. Into Portree lots of warm water flowing into the Bay in Portree by the look of it. Delivered venison to Tom whose Deer Hound pups (11 of them) were doing well on Rona Venison Dog Food ( a wee sideline but good to use up the trim) gorgeous pups btw. Portree quiet for a change although a few tourists about. Good run back then in for a swim with the seals, happy days. Every day like this makes the winter shorter. Long may it continue.
