I had hoped to see her under sail, but it wasn’t meant to be. This is the Flying Dutchman, a regular visitor to Islay and Jura, spotted in the Sound of Jura motoring north. We were on a RIB returning to Craighouse (where we had passed the Flying Dutchman when we left) from the Corrycreckan whirlpool.

Before passing Caol Ila distillery this nice old ketch passed Dunlossit House overlooking the Sound of Islay. Seen from Feolin on Jura.
