A wet Mull

Two weeks on Mull saw us struggling with the weather,three and a half dry days is what we had in two weeks .Prior to leaving home I had booked the last place on the eagle boat trip for the Friday afternoon of our first week ,we awoke to a dry morning and has we had no phone signal made an early start to the Ulva ferry ,the morning trip hadn't left as we arrived so we watched the people go aboard and asked the lad what time the afternoon trip was to depart ,in the event I managed  to get on the morning trip as a couple hadn't turned up ( so pleased I did ) here,s a few pics.

                                                              Just having a look.

The grab

Gotcha ( am in there somewhere ?)

We saw seven different Eagles that morning which made for a great trip (just brilliant ).

Thanks for looking

Stay safe

Joe.
