A view along the southern shore of Saligo Bay on the west coast of Islay. Forbidding rocks and cliffs line the shore here, in contrast to the beach on the western side below and to the right of this view. Waves break over the rocks and cliffs, with spray being thrown high in the air even with the modest waves on the day I took this picture.

A return visitor to Islay, after anchoring in Loch Indaal previously the MV Ocean Endeavour was in the Sound of Islay this time. Tenders took the passengers to and from Port Askaig.
