HM Coastguard Patrol Craft 'MCA Hunter'

We were enjoying our lunch and looking out across a blustery Sound of Mull today when we saw this fast patrol boat come in front of us and head up Loch Sunart.  She's HM Coastguard's MCA Hunter, recently transferred from Clacton to Dunstaffnage.  She was a Customs cutter that operated in these waters but was was purchased by HM Coastguard.  She is now operated by West Scotland and Northern Ireland Coastguard.
