A June evening on White Hart beach (at the end of an Islay Beach Rugby tournament), looking out over Kilnaughton Bay with some interesting clouds in the distance, the evening sun still fairly high in the sky on the right.

As of writing this the SY Drum isn’t sailing any more, but it was back in 2010 it was still in action. Here it is anchored at Port Ellen in front of the old distillery and the maltings, seen from the arriving ferry.
