Captain Jack

Today, a boat ride to the Isle of Staffa to see wildlife, volcanic rock formations, and the famous Fingal's Cave.  In this photo, Captain Jack attempts to dock us briefly so that our group to go ashore.  With the full moon, the tide and swells, he gave up and said that it wasn't safe to go ashore.  We saw the cave from the sea, as well as white tailed eagles, harbour seals, and other ocean creatures.  Extras show the boat docking and the Island.  Fingal's Cave  The famous composer, Felix Mendelssohn, after visiting the cave and hearing it's sounds, was inspired to write the linked work.
