A view from the Islay ferry arriving in Port Ellen, looking over to the old Port Ellen distillery and the modern Port Ellen maltings. The Thalassa, a regular visitor to Islay, is moored just off them.

A selfie from before it was called a “selfie” (apparently the first recorded use was in September 2002). That’s me on Kilchoman beach back in summer 1999, a bit sunburnt after a few brilliant sunny days on Islay.
