Got the green light for a boating trip to 'bag' a few island high points! :D :lol: However, it was maybe a little over-optimistic... of the 3 islands we got out to, it was only safe to land on one this time. Didn't record any stats for these trips as they were mostly on the boat, with just a short trip on to the top of Fidra.

Brave attempt to land, but the swell was just too much this time
Back to the harbour for a short dry-off then we went back out for more :lol:
