Our ferry service is rather disrupted at the moment. The linkspan (which allows vehicles to enter or leave ferries) at Ullapool is being refurbished, meaning that all vehicular traffic has to divert to Harris (40 miles to the south), to take the ferry to Skye. Passengers still have one sailing a day to Ullapool. Meanwhile, the freight ferry Muirneag is on Tyneside for its refit, and its place is taken by the small Pentalina B (shown below, docked alongside pier no 1 last night), which requires two runs to Uig (Skye) to transfer cargo.
I think Guido, that living where you do must make for a very patient person. I cannot imagine one crossing a day to anywhere! But I also think if you live there, you don't mind. It's a different life style and one that many of us could embrace ... at least for a week or two. ;)

Jeannette was just telling me about the gale force winds they were having in the UK. I think wind bothers me more than anything. I know my dog gets nervous. This time of year is just darned dreary. Lovely boat, though, Guido.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I watched the weather forecast on the news last night and we're supposed to get another storm here in a day or so that will include wind & rain. Right this very moment the sun is shining & Gabi is sitting in the sun & loving it. Have a good Monday evening...Linda in WA
ReplyDeleteThe wind is blowing here today and cold too. I hope you're in and keeping warm. 'On Ya'-ma
ReplyDeleteI hope it doesn't get as bad as they are saying. Wishing you sun and fair weather!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture, very haunting to me.
