Cargoes

This neat little landing craft, the Harvest Anne, which normally delivers fish-farm products, sailed out of Loch Sunart northwestwards to round Ardnamurchan Point this afternoon. It belongs to Ferguson Transport, whose trucks are often seen on local roads carrying large logs. It's good to see the company developing this much more environmentally-friendly form of freight transport.

It's been a bright day with only a breath of wind to stir the surface of the Sound, but the consequence has been some heavy showers which have appeared out of nowhere, then sat on us while they off-loaded their cargo of vertical rain. There's a positive side to most things: this weather brings with it a wealth of rainbows, one stretching across Glashbheinn, the big hill to the immediate north of the village, for a good half hour at lunch time.
