From Gills Bay ferry. The ferry cut its power and cruised past a small pod of Orca on the way across! Pretty special moment :)

Stephenson lighthouse with a second lower tower which used to house the foghorn, now a comms aerial. Half day group charter with fast ferry charters out of Burwick. Landed on rock slabs NE side. Very impressive tide race to and from.
