August was also a very good month, plenty of drone flights. This month starts with a trip up North.





LOCH SEAFORTH arrives Ullapool from Stornoway.
**********

LOCH SEAFORTH approaches the berth at Ullapool ready for us to board for a round trip to Stornoway.




As we sailed out, VIKING SKY was heading in to Ullapool.



Berthed in Stornoway was the second cruise ship of the day, the AMBIENCE.

On the slip at Stornoway was a new build ferry/workboat – no name and the yard had been closed down during the build.

Alongside the pier, the well boat RONJAFISK.

A former supply vessel, the BAKKANES arrives at Ullapool ahead of us as we are inward bound.


VIKING SKY at anchor off Ullapool catches a brief burst of sunlight…

… and sails a short while later.
**********

We decided on a short detour on the way home to go via a few hours in Oban. At anchor off Lismore was the BONTRUP AMSTERDAM, waiting to berth at Glensanda.

Anchored in Oban bay, the small cruise ship SPEIDEREN.

The obligatory shot of a Calmac ferry arriving, the Hessle built LOCH STRIVEN inward from Lismore.
