A view from the arriving Islay ferry, the well known Port Ellen buoy right in front of us. On the shore the old Port Ellen distillery and maltings. On the right a motorboat we spotted earlier.

A view of the Thalassa (a regular Islay visitor) from the arriving ferry, Port Ellen maltings and Port Ellen distillery in the background.
As of writing this the SY Drum isn’t sailing any more, but it was back in 2010 it was still in action. Here it is anchored at Port Ellen in front of the old distillery and the maltings, seen from the arriving ferry.
