Not long now

Well, Tom came up to see us for a couple of days and it was really good to see him although time passed too quickly. He flew into Inverness then caught a taxi from the airport to the railway station, now can you believe this?? The taxi driver is the brother in law of a guy I used to work with at Solihull about  15 years ago and I know both his sister and mother!! Spooky or what.

Tom enjoyed his time here and was taking loads of photos. We went out for a good meal and had a couple of decent walks and Jo took him into Smoo Cave whilst I was at work.

Life on the Cape has slowed down and the numbers of visitors has fallen, additionally the visitors are turning up at lunchtime (not that we have lunch) rather than in the morning which means that we should be working later but the tourists stop mid afternoon- all very strange.

We have got gales forecast from Friday lunchtime til Monday evening so we will have to see if work is on, although John the Feryman has his reservations, but we have to go with his decision, after all its him whose responsiblke for the passengers safety.

A week tomorrow is our last day and sitting on the boat coming across the Kyle I looked around and realised how much I'm going to miss the scenery and John and Stuart as well. I've been lucky to work with both of them.

A few photies:

Smoo Cave

Cathedral Stack (name not liked by locals yjey prefer Stac Clos Kervaig) at Kervaig Bay
