As we paddled towards Barwhin Point...
...the Troon Trent class lifeboat, RNLIB Jim Moffat, sped past...
...and disappeared over the horizon towards Ailsa Craig.
Phil seemed unaware that he was being followed by Bob the Seal.
Bob then turned his attention towards me.
As he was swimming powerfully towards me, I tried to work out whether he was common or grey,...
Then I spotted the collar.
He then emerged from the water in a most unseal like way. It was Bob, Tony's dog.
Tony had arrived at Barwhin and decided to join us on the water, after Bob was safely back on the lead.
