Moments from Scotland
Ding-stilleries
Able to anchor offshore and dinghy in to 3 different distilleries on Islay: Bunnahabhain, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg. Lots of blackberries by the roadsides and even sunshine. First mackerel found on the west coast kept us fed a few days.
Jura - top spot!!
Intriguing beaches and caves, both at sea level and above (a glacial phenomenon). Plenty of deer, nary another human.
Hummocky Moraine
Mounds (Hummocky Moraine) formed by retreating glaciers. Photos don't show the extent of them.
Fort William

In the Clouds
We had a full house on our ride back to Tarbert today - hills, strong headwinds, cold rain, and thick mist. Glad to be drying out back in Tarbert now ready for the ferry to Skye tomorrow.
