Spotted from the evening ferry arriving in Port Ellen: The tall ship Thalassa, a regular visitor to Islay, anchored in Kilnaughton Bay just as the sun is setting behind the hills of the Oa.

A view north from Port Askaig on a mostly overcast June late afternoon. A sailing yacht off Bunnahabhain Bay, not sure if it came out of the bay or from further north. Rhuvaal lighthouse visible in the distance, also if you look closely you can make out Colonsay on the horizon.

Watched from Port Askaig pier, the ketch Fleur de Lampaul and a modern sailing yacht passing the small Jura lighthouse Carragh an t-Sruith on the Sound of Islay
