Blustery passage in the Sound of Islay

A view from the MV Hebridean Isles travelling down the Sound of Islay on a blustery day. Dunlossit Castle and Port Askaig as well as Jura ferry crossing the sound are visible in the middle distance. Behind it Sgarbh Breac, at 364m the highest hill in the north of Islay, can be spotted.
Fast Rescue Craft exercise on the Islay ferry MV Hebridean Isles

I’ve only seen it once but I believe it is a regular practice. This is the Fast Rescue Craft being lifted up after an exercise in West Loch Tarbert by the Islay ferry MV Hebridean Isles.
Update/correction: Originally I had described the boat as a tender, the correct term is Fast Rescue Craft. Thanks to Jim MacLean for the correction.
