4 Kidneys and a Wonky Leg

It was just a short hop through the Chanonry Narrows and down to Inverness, and because of the strong tidal streams here, we needed to go in on the flood tide. That meant by 10.30am we were berthed at Inverness marina. Coming through the Narrows we saw a few dolphins. The Narrows, a kilometre wide S shaped twist in the Moray Firth is a place where you can see dolphins almost every day of the year, and people stand on the sandy spit near the lighthouse and watch them feed and play as little as 50 metres from the shoreline. As you can imagine it’s quite a popular tourist attraction, at least two boats operate out of the marina offering whale and dolphin watching trips.

It was time to do some housekeeping, the boat was covered in salt so we took the opportunity to wash and scrubs the decks, which we didn’t think was very interesting but there were plenty of tourists taking pictures of us as they returned from their boat trips. Maybe the dolphins didn’t show up?
