A few dinghy photos from islands trip

Hi folks
Just posting a few photos of recent dinghy trip to islands off north uist etc
We had 9 days and visited the monach islands,pabbay, berneray, boreray, ensay,killegray, vallay, shillay and went into leverburgh on harris to re fuel
Was a great trip, beautiful beaches and met some very nice locals
The camping was great,had some lovely spots and in the main brilliant weather- just a bit of sea fog early in the morning on some days
On the last night I suggested parking the car in front of the tent to deflect the gales but my girlfriend put her foot down and we got a b&b. Quite right too.
Anyway hope the photos are of interest
Cheers*

Beautiful pictures. If you get the weather, the Hebrides are a boating paradise.

Looks lovely... When I read your first post and looked at the Map I thought you would be in a 6.5 m rib..... But no it was a T38... Very bold and stunning pictures

Thanks guys it is a braw place when the sun is out !
Smallribber it is actually the t40 not the t38, so quite a bit bigger and heavier, not sure i would fancy it in a t38, it would be a bit of a squeeze with all our camping stuff !
Cheers

What size outboard cant quite see from the pics. I think the T38 would be ok but the main issue is the water slopps about in the floor.

Yep stunning images, thanks for posting. I was straining my eyes for The Gurnard flashing past in the distance in his SIBRIB.

Fantastic photos Duggie, the islands look stunning!
Did the T40 perform well? any scary moments? What motor did you use?
Sorry for all the questions but will be purchasing a SIB very soon and dont want to make a duff decision!

Some very emotive photos there duggie12 - adventurous travels and inspiring pitches. One thought prevails:

Just sayin' is all.....

It is a 20hp, plenty power for the honwave, no scary moments really to be honest, it wasn't that rough at any point.
Not got a clue what a sibrib is fenlander!
Yes willk she definitely is - for many reasons!

SibRib is a joke in The Gurnards direction... He always had Sibs but has now bought a Rib but posted it in the Sib Section..... Rib it may be but he uses it much like his Sib
