Morning Emma - Just wanted to say thank you for a lovely trip out to St Kilda at the beginning of the month. Charlie (Skipper) was brilliant at keeping us informed of weather changes and getting us out to St Kilda safely. I was a little apprehensive because we have never been that far out into the Atlantic before. But I felt very safe and thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the sun even shone for us whilst we were on St Kilda. Will was his usual smiley self. Will cheered me up no end with his offer of “Would you like a crunchie Debbie”. This has now become a standard phase in our house to make everything all right. Brilliant. Jasmin was a delight and looked after us all brilliantly and her decoration of the boat with balloons for my birthday was really lovely along with the card. Thank you. Charlie (Chef) fed us all very well and my birthday cake was lovely. Thanks Emma, I hope the rest of the season goes well for you all.

This cruise is the shortest one they do but we still managed to get in a lot of walking in some beautiful locations. It was the rutting season so it was magical to stand out on deck listening to the bellowing stags in the hills surrounding the Loch. We also had some good sightings of them. We were privileged to have two very close sightings of wild otters on land eating their catch! The crew were as helpful and attentive as ever. I think the fact that out of the four cabins on the Elizabeth G, three were people who were returning to the ship, including myself, which proves what a wonderful experience it is. It was also nice to have a couple on board who hadn't sailed with Hebrides before as they were so enthusiastic. A friendly group, lovely locations and brilliant crew - what more could you ask for!
