A slightly unusual visitor in the Sound of Islay, a barge towing a crane spotted from the Jura ferry. As for some reason they were travelling against the tide their speed over ground was very slow
A view from the ferry in the Sound of Islay looking north. In the foreground on the right is Jura with the lighthouse at Carragh an t-Sruith. In the middle distance Colonsay, behind it in the far distance Mull with the Munro Ben More towering over the view.
A view from the ferry leaving Islay for Kennacraig, looking back at Port Askaig. The Jura ferry MV Eilean Dhuira is just leaving for her short crossing to Jura, passing behind the bigger ferry to the mainland.
