Glass bottomed boat

This evening we went for a 2 hour trip on a glass bottomed boat.  It was really interesting to see what was under the surface of the sea.  Although we had expected to see a lot more than we did.

In shallow areas one got to see kelp of various different kinds although the water was pretty murky.  The kep was covered with a layer of sea dust.  There were smaller crabs both dark and reddish as well as sand coloured.  Some large and very tiny jelly fish.  A  couple of whitish star fish.  Some small fish.   Not much though and nothing very colourful or any bigger fish.

Still an awesome experience worth going on.

Just a pity there is not more sealife - there should be a whole lot thriving in the ocean.

Peaceful waters

I love this photo its so full of colour...

This is an otter my parents saw. I still

have not seen an otter.

Low tide - its alway difficult to imagine

Look out for the St Kilda Mail Boat

People visiting Scotland’s beaches are being urged by the National Trust for Scotland to look out for a tiny wooden mailboat which was launched from St Kilda yesterday to mark the 80th anniversary of the evacuation of the islands. Staff from the conservation charity say the vessel – which is similar to those used by St Kildans in the past to communicate with the outside world - could wash up anywhere almost anywhere on the coastlines of Scotland or Scandinavia.
