Thankfully the weather was calm and the ferry fully operational so there were
no delays leaving the island. First time we came here we were three days
delayed in leaving due to a ferry breakdown.
It was a decent crossing with reasonable numbers of common dolphins and a few
seabirds, best being a sooty shearwater that was close to the boat. Nothing
like last years crossing when we had 1000 great shearwaters and 200 sooties
but that was very much a once in a lifetime experience.
At least 40 common dolphins this morning with at least one calf seen. Around
20 were at the entrance to the Sound of Mull out from Tobermory, 10 were out
from Castlebay on Barra and the rest somewhere in between.
