A really special day out on Tanera Mor for this year's Sail & Oar Gathering with the chance to see the beautiful tall ships Pellew and Spirit of Falmouth sailing right round the island in company with our amazing local boats.
Great to hear from Turn to Starboard about the expedition and all the fantastic work they do and share stories of our own wee accessible boat trips in this loch.
Many thanks to the team at Tanera for inviting USS to another lovely gathering!
"The Full Circle Expedition 🌊
Two tall ships.
2,000 nautical miles.
22 ports.
12 weeks at sea.
And a whole lot of fun 💃🕺🪩✨
All to raise vital funds to support the long-term work of Turn to Starboard.
Every donation brings us closer to purchasing Pellew, a new ship that will allow the charity to support even more veterans facing challenges such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, physical injury, isolation, unemployment and low confidence."

Is Cailean right??
Has Gillies really found a (critically endangered) European Eel??
And, if so, do you think it's a youngster or an adult - is it just heading off all the way to the Sargasso Sea, or making its way back? 🗺️ The amazing 'Anguilla Anguilla' have an astonishing life cycle story, so if Cailean is right this is a pretty exciting find on the beach right in front of the village.... 🤯😃🩵

How many of the creatures we found can you identify?!

Huge thanks to Kat Bruce from The Protected Areas Foundation for coming along to help us with another spring low tide session on Friday. So much incredible life to be seen under the rocks and seaweed!

Thanks to Cailean for bringing along some of his amazing skull collection to show the group and to Lochbroom Filling Station for filling that vital end-of-session ice cream gap....

Spring low tides after school so we headed down with marine scientist @ailsa.mclellan to see what we could see......
Phenomenal amounts of life! Most of it captured on films which we'll be sharing shortly, but for now here's a few pics of kids having on the shore. 👌🦀

Dory is out on a beach check for Ullapool Sea Savers, seeing whether this shore might need a future clean-up.
Before the full group comes back, checking what has washed up and what we might need to tackle next.
What do you spot on the shore?
