Sometimes a delay can have unexpected benefits: Arriving with the MV Finlaggan for a June holiday on Islay the mezzanine car deck got stuck, delaying me getting off the ferry. When I finally got off I spotted an old friend and stopped to have a chat with him. While we were chatting the clouds broke up and shortly after he had to leave this beautiful full rainbow appeared over Port Ellen. In a way it’s even more than a full rainbow, as it was reflected/mirrored in the calm water.
