Jura ferry approaching slip at Feolin, Isle of Jura

An interesting view of the Jura ferry from the Islay ferry. While the Islay ferry is being prepared to depart from Port Askaig the Eilean Dhiura made a run to Feolin across the heavy current in the Sound of Islay. The tide was running from north to south (left to right), so the ferry initially travelled “sideways” towards the north, against the current (you can see the wash from right to left). At the last minute is turned right (or better, to starboard) to land at the ferry slip. Some great skill by the captain.

A late November afternoon at Gruinart, watching from the bird hide in the last light of the gloaming. Two Whooper Swans from a group of six resting in the mild and colourful light.
