A Lesson from Kesslet

Kesslet Shares Her Skills!
Kesslet is a fantastic hunter, with more than a few skills tucked away under her pectoral fin when it comes to landing a hearty meal! She’s been fishing around the harbour and Kessock Channel almost every day since the flooding rains, which must mean there’s some good eating going on down by us at the moment. She has been very social with the Mischief recently too, even taking a little time out of her busy fishing schedule to teach our intrepid passengers a thing or two about salmon fishing in the Ness! As you can see in the picture above, Kesslet might be a great hunter, but she has some appalling table manners; let’s just say our visitors were lucky enough to see her just after she had caught her lunch, instead of some time after, like we did a few days prior! Gross!

Things are heating up!
The sun is back and shining on the Moray Firth once more; with the great weather comes the need for more suncream! For any passengers on the Spirit or Mischief over the next while, make sure you put some on before coming out; being out on the water can make you susceptible to burning due to the reflected rays off the water’s surface. Trust us, we’ve been there! All eyes are peeled for the possible appearance of Orca once again in the Moray Firth too, as last year they were seen this far south for the first time. Keep your eyes on the water, as you just never know who may come for a visit. Most recent rumour has put them currently at Peterhead, which would be even further south! The start of summer is always an interesting time, as you can almost never predict what will happen. All you can really do is keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed!
