\"Tobermory\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guess where I was today?<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Blue Heron Cruises<\/a> offers several choices of vessel, plying the waters of Fathom Five National Marine Park<\/a>, near Tobermory.<\/p>\n

\"Flowerpot<\/a><\/p>\n

This jetboat is a new addition to the fleet, called the Flowerpot Express<\/em>. It’s basically a water taxi out to Flowerpot Island. If you take the larger Blue Heron V<\/em> to Flowerpot, you still have to transfer to one of these jetboats to get ashore.<\/p>\n

I was watching this boat running at speed out on the Bay… it zips along pretty good… but the passengers were getting pretty wet from the bow spray, it looked like.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a medium sized craft called the Blue Heron V<\/em>. It does a tour of the sunken wrecks in Big Tub Harbour (This is Little Tub we see here) and then does a run over to Flowerpot Island.<\/p>\n

\"Great<\/a><\/p>\n

The flagship vessel of Blue Heron Cruises is the Great Blue Heron<\/em>. Which makes sense, ornithologically speaking. This was to be my vessel of choice this day. I sat topside, starboard, forward-most seat. Ahoy, mateys, I know some jargon.<\/p>\n
