Windy old day

It really does rain a lot here, serious organised got it together water coming down in torrents at 05:45 this morning.  A bit snoozy as the ship's generator broke down at midnight which made the emergency generator above my head click in automatically.  Not to sure what went wrong, but then neither are the engineers.

Day went well but then the wind got up and we spent a couple of hours alongside at Craignure pinned on the berth by a Force 8 coming down the Sound of Mull.  Back on again at 15:00 when the weather had improved.  Saw the Queen's sometimes passenger ship the Hebridean Princess at anchor in the Sound.  We had a coach load of German tourists on board telling us about their rough old trip across to Iona with the spray coming over all, amazed that they made it all.
