Great sea watching from the Clansmen today, I love watching the stormies fluttering over the waves in the great expanse of the Minch. They look so tiny.
More numerous were the shearwaters, we passed large rafts of them sitting on the sea and saw many glide powerfully and effortlessly past the boat.
