Hi Scuba - finally got home after one of the worst trips I have ever had at sea. Gale after gale. Not a drop to drink on Christmas day or Hogmany. Have been catching up on all your photos. Some crackers, and I don't mean the one at McCracken Bay. Am looking forward to the ones you will take of my favourite place. Take lots so I can print them and have about the house. The frog at Ibrox is gone and Jimmy Calderwood is 12/1 for the job! Take care -Dad

Looked at the photos after I sent you an email. Brought back happy memories. I'm glad to see the artistic side with the kelp photo. Your experience with the sea lions looked similar to ours, we nearly tripped over one in the dusk walking back from penguin watching. Amazing climbers (the latter) considering the leg length. Have a good Xmas and Hogmanay.
