2014.3 Port Ellen, Islay

 

I was delighted to see Port Ellen again on such a beautiful day. I remembered my first experience with holding a mooring buoy in dark  around midnight, when we arrived last time, almost three years ago. 

 

Lovely to walk on the beach in front of the town

This ship is delivering grain to the Island for malting as Islay is one of the biggest centers for Whisky production. It was interesting to have a view of some beginning procedures, coming from sea.

 

We stayed on Islay and had a chance to try out our new folding bikes which allowed us to see a bit more of the Island than we were here the last time.
