A view of the Calmac ferry MV Hebridean Isles approaching Port Askaig along the Sound of Islay. In the distance McArthur’s Head lighthouse at the southern end of the sound.
A view back to Port Askaig from the shelter of the lounge of the departing Islay ferry. Leaving Islay is never easy, but on a day where it’s pouring it down it’s a tiny fraction easier than on a sunny day.
A view from the ferry travelling up the Sound of Islay from Port Askaig to Colonsay. Thick fog reduced visibility quite a lot, you could only just make out the houses on the shore.
