A slightly unusual view in the Sound of Islay: When the usual Jura ferry was away in April 2023 for repairs/ maintenance the MV James took over to ferry vehicles and passengers across the Sound of Islay.

A view back to Islay and Jura from the ferry about to enter West Loch Tarbert on a crossing to Kennacraig in April 2023. The weather had been beautiful and sunny with bright blue skies for 5 days, lasting for the ferry crossing as well.
