Voyage in the Hebrides

Whilst completing my MA in Fine Art (more on this in another post), I was lucky enough to be asked sailing in the Hebrides. Despite never having made an overnight voyage before I jumped at the chance to explore this beautiful part of the world by sea rather than by land. Seven days and nights at sea, four swims off the boat, six sea otters and plentiful seals spotted, and one engine failure later, we docked back in the loch where the boat is moored.

It was a wonderfully varied trip with blazing sunshine and driving rain alternating almost constantly and our little crew of five bonded over meals in the cabin, swims in the nude and late night whisky.
