We awoke to a weather forecast that suggested the sea conditions were to be less than favourable for surveying so with the group decision made we decided to take a shore day. We were in Portree and after a slow breakfast we headed ashore and made our way to the sea eagle exhibition. We learnt about the reintroduction of sea eagles and watched videos of the Skye scenery taken from a helicopter. We then had lunch, some of us opting for the traditional fish and chips and others going to the bakery. The time flew by and it was soon time to head back to the boat where Olivia had prepared some entertainment for us. It was a much needed break for us (and for our oilies to dry out) but we are keen to get back out surveying tomorrow; the weather is meant to be better tomorrow… we shall hold our breath!
