Cruise Ship Parade

The small cruise ship Silver Explorer passed down the Sound early this afternoon, to be followed, an hour or so later....

....by a similarly sized ship, the Island Sky.  Both of them must have spent some time in Tobermory before....

....setting out northwards on the next stage of their cruises, Island Sky to Inverewe, Silver Explorer to Armadale.

The weather forecast for the day was dismal but, as can be seen from the white horses, we've had a brisk westerly breeze and plenty of sunshine, accompanied by the occasional shower, some of hail.  Our main complaint remains that, with May just leaving us, it's been unusually cold for the time of year.  Not that this has deterred the weeds: we spent the sunny intervals in the garden dealing with them.
