Thanks both, it was a great trip even if the second day was fraught with bouts of sea sickness (first time in a long while) which led to a distinct lack of picture taking

Best things about the Skerries is probably plotting how to get there although I'm told that being there when the terns are is is quite an experience.

Great pics. Love the puffins! I've only ever seen 1 or 2 of them at a time and never parked up in the water next to my boat.

Hmm, definitely something funny about the waves in the Irish Sea last week, our scope was greatly reduced by one of our team being seasick, although to be fair it is possible that my driving started it.....
