Too Much Good Weather! Only in the UK will you hear such a phrase being uttered unironically! After yesterday’s rainy day, you’d think we’d be just buzzing to get some unexpected sunshine again, but it certainly didn’t seem to be the case! With the return of the sun, I think everyone was too burned out…

Sightings in Sunshine! The difference in weather in just a mere 24 hours can sometimes be astounding in Inverness; the past couple of days have proven this much. Yesterday, by all accounts, was a fabulous one, with sunshine all day (despite the forecast at the beginning of the week citing cloud and rain) and, even…

Last but not Least! And rounding off our Meet the Team showcase is the last of our skippers, Gwyn! Of all the skippers across both boats, it is highly likely that Gwyn is the most experienced of them all; an instructor for all kinds of vessels, a courier for boat owners, and captain of our…

Sleepy in the Sunshine With the second day in a row of actual summer weather, it was a great day to be out on the water! Not only is the glittery reflection from the water great for topping up a tan, but the soothing sea breeze meant it wasn’t too warm out on the firth…

The Terrible Trio Strike Again! A glorious day all in all, with the sun shining for every single sailing that went out today! The wind from yesterday died down a little today, but there were still a few white horses to contend with, especially out in the Beauly Firth! That didn’t put us, or any…

A 3 out of 4 Day! For the last few days, we’ve been lucky enough to have had dolphins across the majority of our sailings! Today was no different, providing us with a dolphin-filled spectacle on 3 out of the 4 trips that went out for Dolphin Spirit, and on the only trip braving the…

An Afternoon of Dolphins The 10 am might have been one of the best trips through the day weather-wise, with even a little sunshine to brighten the morning, but sadly it missed a vital ingredient for the perfect trip; dolphins! Thankfully though, it was the only trip of the day to suffer such misfortune. But…

Finding Fins It was 2 out of 4 days for Dolphin Spirit, but so close to being a 4 out of 4! We had Kesslet and Charlie scooting around South Kessock this morning, travelling toot-sweet up the coat towards Clachnaharry. They came to briefly say hello; Charlie doing fast surface rushes towards us and under…

Bring Your Child to Work Day Or so it seemed! On both Dolphin Spirit and Mischief, the groups spotted today were made up of mothers and calves (with the exception of Sundance at Chanonry, who was flirting with all the mums instead!). For both as well it may have seemed a little bit like a…

Dolphins All ‘Round! It was a beautiful day to be out in the Moray Firth, and a day enjoyed by passengers and dolphins alike it would seem! Both Dolphin Mischief and Dolphin Spirit got up close and personal with a few of their local “residents”! Spirit’s day started nice and early with Charlie and Kesslet…

A Successful Morning! Well, for one of the boats anyway; Dolphin Spirit had a no-sail due to lack of passengers for the first time in a long time! That meant it was up to Dolphin Mischief to provide the “scouting” info for the morning, and what a morning it was! All was quiet until the…

A Master in his Field Keeping on the theme of Mischief skippers, we come on to the last, but certainly not the least, George! Everything going on here with Dolphin Mischief is essentially old hat for George, who has been out on the Moray Firth for 25 years! George’s strengths as a skipper are not…
