Summer sibbing in the Minch
Been lurking around here for a while and just thought I'd share a video of our summer hols around North and South Harris. Trying to video whilst looking after a 2 year old and a 7 month year old is awkward - but you get the idea!

First welcome to RIB.net

What an awesome experience to share with your family. Hopefully when the kids are older they will get to do it over and over again...maybe all the way thru their lives if they choose to spend time on the water.

Cheers for the comments guys. @beerbelly - just let the dolphins come to us - they seemed to love it!

Well done to you Sir! .. thanks for the Vid .. its tough when you have wee ones ... but you've broadened yours, and their minds, and I dont mean that condescendingly, you will remember that trip for a long time. Think you had some Porpoises in there too, Ive never got as close as that to them ? ..

Very cool. Viewing the dolphins is one of the many reasons we just got a SIB for our family. Too bad our water isn't as clear as that and they are harder to see.
