This is the tour boat coming to take us to the Treshnish Isles. We had taken a ferry to the Isle of Mull, a bus trip to the tip end of Mull, then this boat to for our Puffin tour.
| We were VERY lucky the sea was very calm. There had been a storm the day before.

| Our tour guide on the right. He knew a lot about the Isles.
| Here we are on the boat. I was surprised none of us got sick, even me. The sea was that calm.
|
Looking for Puffins. We are getting close to the Isles. The boat ride took about 40 minutes from the Isle of Mull.
| Cheri watching for puffins too. She was also excited.
| Here we are where our boat stopped, right next to the shore. We had to climb out and up.
| Dennis and Cheri got out in front of me (Candy).
| Dennis walking over the jagged rocks.

Then after a 10 minute walk we came to a clearing which took us about 5 minutes to pass through.
